An Adaptive Grey Wolf Algorithm Based on Population System and Bacterial Foraging Algorithm

Abstract

In this thesis, an modified algorithm for grey wolf optimization in swarm intelligence optimization algorithm is proposed, which is called an adaptive grey wolf algorithm (AdGWO) based on population system and bacterial foraging optimization algorithm (BFO). In view of the disadvantages of premature convergence and local optimization in solving complex optimization problems, the AdGWO algorithm uses a three-stage nonlinear change function to simulate the decreasing change of the convergence factor, and at the same time integrates the half elimination mechanism of the BFO. These improvements are more in line with the actual situation of natural wolves. The algorithm is based on 23 famous test functions and compared with GWO. Experimental results demonstrate that this algorithm is able to avoid sinking into the local optimum, has good accuracy and stability, is a more competitive algorithm.
