Island bat algorithm for optimization

Expert Systems With Applications, 2018
Abstract Structured population in evolutionary algorithms is a vital strategy to control diversity during the search. One of the most popular structured population strategies is the island model in which the population is divided into several sub-populations (islands). The EA normally search for each island independently. After a number of predefined

Bat algorithm for constrained optimization tasks

Neural Computing and Applications, 2012
In this study, we use a new metaheuristic optimization algorithm, called bat algorithm (BA), to solve constraint optimization tasks. BA is verified using several classical benchmark constraint problems. For further validation, BA is applied to three benchmark constraint engineering problems reported in the specialized literature. The performance of the

Optimal parameter settings for bat algorithm

International Journal of Bio-Inspired Computation, 2015
Bat algorithm is a swarm intelligent algorithm inspired by the echolocation behaviour of bats. Recently, there are many research works focus on this algorithm, however, most of them are with different parameter settings when dealing with un-constrained numerical problems.

Binary bat algorithm

Neural Computing and Applications, 2013
Bat algorithm (BA) is one of the recently proposed heuristic algorithms imitating the echolocation behavior of bats to perform global optimization. The superior performance of this algorithm has been proven among the other most well-known algorithms such as genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO).

A Comparative Study of Improved Bat Algorithm and Bat Algorithm on Numerical Benchmarks

2015 4th International Conference on Advanced Computer Science Applications and Technologies (ACSAT), 2015
Optimization is employed in solutions of many problems today. Optimization is described as finding the most suitable alternative among many others under the given constraints. Meta-heuristic algorithms used in solutions of the problems are developed upon the behaviors of living creatures in the nature.

Bat algorithm with Gaussian walk

International Journal of Bio-Inspired Computation, 2014
Bat algorithm is a novel branch of evolutionary computation. Although there are several research papers that focus on this new algorithm, however, few of them concerns the high-dimensional numerical problems. In this paper, a new variant called bat algorithm with Gaussian walk BAGW is proposed aiming to solve this problem.

Bat Algorithm with Recollection

2013
Bat algorithm(BA) is a new swarm intelligence optimization algorithm. However, bat algorithm has the obvious phenomenon of the premature convergence problem and is easily trapped into local optimum. In order to overcome the shortcoming of the BA algorithm, we proposed an improved bat algorithm called bat algorithm with recollection(RBA).

An Adaptive Bat Algorithm

2013
After analyzing the deficiencies of bat algorithm (BA), we proposed an improved bat algorithm called an adaptive bat algorithm(ABA). In the ABA, each bat can dynamic and adaptively adjust its flight speed and its flight direction while it is searching for food, and makes use of the hunting approach of combining random search with shrinking search.

Enhancement structures for the bat algorithm

2018 IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence (SSCI), 2018
Bat algorithm is a recently developed swarm optimization technique which has been found to be a powerful method for multimodal optimization problems. Some of the drawbacks in standard BA are reduced convergence speed due to lack of inertia weight factor and premature convergence due to low diversification capability of the algorithm as the problem’s ...

Compact Bat Algorithm

2014
Addressing to the computational requirements of the hardware devices with limited resources such as memory size or low price is critical issues. This paper, a novel algorithm, namely compact Bat Algorithm (cBA), for solving the numerical optimization problems is proposed based on the framework of the original Bat algorithm (oBA).
