DISCRETE MULTI-VALUED SEARCH SPACE ALGORITHM BASED ON COCKROACH SWARMS

摘要

Many real-life applications today are discrete-valued in nature, and no algorithm has been confirmed to offer solutions toall optimization problems. There is a need for more improved discrete valued algorithms to offer solutions to real life discretevaluedcomplex optimization problems. A discrete multi-valued search space cockroach swarm optimization algorithm is proposedin this paper which is designed to provide solutions to optimization problems with any discrete range value. The proposedalgorithm model was tested with different discrete value ranges using standard benchmarks to prove its performance. The resultsobtained show that the proposed algorithm would be efficient in solving optimization problems with any discrete value.
