Intelligent Bionic Optimization Algorithm Based on the Growth Characteristics of Tree Branches

Abstract

To improve the performance of bionic algorithms, an intelligent bionic optimization algorithm is proposed based on the morphological characteristics of trees growing toward light. The growth organ of the tree is mapped into the coding of the tree growth algorithm, and the entire tree is formed by selecting the fastest growing individual to form the next level of the tree. When the tree growth reaches a certain level, the individual code of the shoot tip is added to enhance the search ability of the individual shoot tip in the growth space of the entire tree. This method achieves a near-optimal solution. The experimental results were compared with the optimization results of the genetic algorithm and the ant colony algorithm using the classic optimization function. The experimental results show that this algorithm has fewer iterations, a faster convergence speed, higher precision, and a better optimization ability than the genetic algorithm or the ant colony algorithm.
