Global Gbest Guided-Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm for Numerical Function Optimization

Abstract

Numerous computational algorithms are used to obtain a high performance in solving mathematics, engineering and statistical complexities. Recently, an attractive bio-inspired method—namely the Artificial Bee Colony (ABC)—has shown outstanding performance with some typical computational algorithms in different complex problems. The modification, hybridization and improvement strategies made ABC more attractive to science and engineering researchers. The two well-known honeybees-based upgraded algorithms, Gbest Guided Artificial Bee Colony (GGABC) and Global Artificial Bee Colony Search (GABCS), use the foraging behavior of the global best and guided best honeybees for solving complex optimization tasks. Here, the hybrid of the above GGABC and GABC methods is called the 3G-ABC algorithm for strong discovery and exploitation processes. The proposed and typical methods were implemented on the basis of maximum fitness values instead of maximum cycle numbers, which has provided an extra strength to the proposed and existing methods. The experimental results were tested with sets of fifteen numerical benchmark functions. The obtained results from the proposed approach are compared with the several existing approaches such as ABC, GABC and GGABC, result and found to be very profitable. Finally, obtained results are verified with some statistical testing.

Optimized SVM-Driven Multi-Class Approach by Improved ABC to Estimating Ship Systems State

“…It can be seen that (6) does not include the global optimal value, so the algorithm has insufficient searching ability near the global optimal value, which can lead to a slow update speed and easily fall into a local optimal solution. Therefore, the neighborhood search method can be improved by introducing a global search factor [30] as…”

“…However, the lowest solutions have more change from time to time and accept many new features from the best solutions. The immigration rate and emigration rate of the j-th island may be formulated as follows in Equations (28) and (29) [22].…”

“…Beneoluchi et al [27] proposed an algorithm based on the behavior of the African buffalo that has the ability to organize itself through two basic sounds for finding solutions. Another algorithm based on swarm intelligence is the Artificial Bee Colony (ABC), in which the honeybee's food search is imitated to solve problems of numerical optimization, both the ABC and the improved algorithms that derive from it have been applied in the training of neural networks [28,29].…”

“…It is worth mentioning that although the standard versions of the abovementioned evolutionary algorithms were applied in this study, the generic nature of the derived optimization problem permitted the application of more sophisticated and advanced evolutionary algorithms [30][31][32][33][34].…”
