In order to solve the problems of BBO such as insufficient search scope in the early stage and easy to fall into local optimization in the later stage, this paper proposed an improved El-BBO which based on El. Firstly, the algorithm searched for new habitat around the original habitat, it enhanced the diversity of the initialization population. Secondly, the algorithm made improved habitat expansion, it improved the convergence efficiency of the algorithm. Finally, the algorithm used gradient de scent to make quadratic convergence in the field of optimal solution, which improved the convergence accuracy of the algorithm. This paper carried out 50 Monte Carlo experiments on 12 optimized test functions commonly used in CEC2014, the experimental results show that the overall performance of El-BBO is better than the other three intelligent optimization algorithms in terms of optimal fitness value, average fitness value and standard deviation. It shows that El-BBO can improve the ability to find the optimal solution and enhance the search stability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper proposed an improved salp swarm algorithm that aimed to solve the problem of low precision and slow convergence speed in solving function optimization problems. For leaders, this algorithm replaced the optimal individual position with weighted centroid to prevent premature aggregation near the optimal individual. It also introduced adaptive inertia weight to the followers to balance the global search and local optimization capabilities of the algorithm. Furthermore, this algorithm contributed to reducing the inter-dimensional interference and improving the diversity of the population by dimensional random difference mutation. The simulation results illustrate that the improved algorithm is better than the standard tympanum group algorithm and other improved algorithms in terms of mean, standard deviation and convergence curve. The results also show that the improved algorithm improves the performance of optimization, and has higher precision as well as faster convergence speed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
