Improving the Searching Capacity of Evolved Bat Algorithm by the Periodic Signal

摘要

In this paper, the evolved bat algorithm is improved by replacing the fixed value, which is determined by the media, with the periodic signal. The familiar periodic signal exists in the natural environment is the sine/cosine signal. We take the cosine signal in our design of improving the searching capacity of the evolved bat algorithm. Three test functions, of which the global optimum values are known, are used in the experiments. The experimental results indicate that our proposed strategy improves the searching accuracy of the evolved bat algorithm about 45.722% in average.
