Research of Hybrid Biogeography Based Optimization and Clonal Selection Algorithm for Numerical Optimization

摘要

The interest of hybridizing different nature inspired algorithms has been growing in recent years. As a relatively new algorithm in this field, Biogeography Based Optimization(BBO) shows great potential in solving numerical optimization problems and some practical problems like TSP. In this paper, we proposed an algorithm which combines Biogeography Based Optimization (BBO) and Clonal Selection Algorithm (BBOCSA). Several benchmark functions are used for comparison among the hybrid and other nature inspired algorithms (BBO, CSA, PSO and GA). Simulation results show that clone selection can enhance the ability of exploration of BBO and the proposed hybrid algorithm has better performance than the other algorithms on some benchmarks.
