Title: Fusing Multiple Strategies in Population-Based Optimization Algorithm
Abstract: A multi-strategy based population optimization, referred to MSPO, is proposed in this paper. The algorithm is developed by hybridizing four different population-based algorithms, bare bone particle swarm optimization, quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization, differential evolution and opposition-based learning. It aims at enhancing the exploration and exploitation capability of population based algorithm for general optimization problem. These four options are randomly selected with equal probability during the search process. The proposed algorithm is validated against test functions and then compares its performance with those of particle swarm optimization and bare bone particle swarm optimization. Numerical results show that the performance is increased greatly both in solution quality and convergent speed.
