An analysis of the equilibrium of migration models for biogeography-based optimization

Motivated by the migration mechanisms of ecosystems, various extensions to biogeography-based optimization (BBO) are proposed here. As a global optimization method, BBO is an original algorithm based on the mathematical model of organism distribution in biological systems. BBO is an evolutionary process that achieves information sharing by biogeography-based migration operators. In BBO, habitats represent candidate problem solutions, and species migration represents the sharing of features between candidate solutions according to the fitness of the habitats. This paper generalizes equilibrium species count results in biogeography theory, explores the behavior of six different migration models in BBO, and investigates performance through 23 benchmark functions with a wide range of dimensions and diverse complexities. The performance study shows that sinusoidal migration curves provide the best performance among the six different models that we explored. In addition, comparison with other biology-based optimization algorithms is investigated, and the influence of the population size, problem dimension, mutation rate, and maximum migration rate of BBO are also studied.     

Elephant herding optimization using dynamic topology and biogeography-based optimization based on learning for numerical optimization

With the increasing complexity of optimization problems in the real world, more and more intelligent algorithms are used to solve these problems. Elephant herding optimization (EHO), a recently proposed metaheuristic algorithm, is based on the nomadic habits of elephants on the grassland. The herd is divided into multiple clans, each individual drawing closer to the patriarchs (clan updating operator), and the adult males are separated during puberty (separating operator). Biogeography-based optimization (BBO) is inspired by the principles of biogeography, and finally achieves an equilibrium state by species migration and drifting between geographical regions. To solve the numerical optimization problems, this paper proposes an improved elephant herding optimization using dynamic topology and biogeography-based optimization based on learning, named biogeography-based learning elephant herding optimization (BLEHO). In BLEHO, we change the topological structure of the population by dynamically changing the number of clans of the elephants. For the updating of each individual, we use the update of the operator based on biogeography-based learning or the operator based on EHO. In the separating phase, we set the separation probability according to the number of clans, and adopt a new separation operator to carry out the separation operation. Finally, through elitism strategy, a certain number of individuals are preserved directly to the next generation without being processed, thus ensuring a better evolutionary process for the population. To verify the performance of BLEHO, we used the benchmarks provided by IEEE CEC 2014 for the test. The experimental results were compared with some classical algorithms (ABC, ACO, BBO, DE, EHO, GA, and PSO) and the most advanced algorithms (BBKH, BHCS, CCS, HHO, PPSO, SCA, and VNBA) and analyzed by Friedman rank test. Finally, we also applied BLEHO to the simple traveling salesman problem (TSP). The results show that BLEHO has better performance than other methods.

     

Biogeography-based optimization with improved migration operator and self-adaptive clear duplicate operator

Biogeography-based optimization (BBO) is a new emerging population-based algorithm that has been shown to be competitive with other evolutionary algorithms. However, there are some insufficiencies in solving complex problems, such as poor population diversity and slow convergence speed in the later stage. To overcome these shortcomings, we propose an improved BBO (IBBO) algorithm integrating a new improved migration operator, Gaussian mutation operator, and self-adaptive clear duplicate operator. The improved migration operator simultaneously adopts more information from other habitats, maintains population diversity, and preserves exploitation ability. The self-adaptive clear duplicate operator can clear duplicate or almost identical habitats, while also preserving population diversity through a self-adaptation threshold within the evolution process. Simulation results and comparisons from the experimental tests conducted on 23 benchmark functions show that IBBO achieves excellent performance in solving complex problems compared with other variants of the BBO algorithm and other evolutionary algorithms. The performance of the improved migration operator is also discussed.     

Handling multiple objectives with biogeography-based optimization

Biogeography-based optimization (BBO) is a new evolutionary optimization method inspired by biogeography. In this paper, BBO is extended to a multi-objective optimization, and a biogeography-based multi-objective optimization (BBMO) is introduced, which uses the cluster attribute of islands to naturally decompose the problem. The proposed algorithm makes use of nondominated sorting approach to improve the convergence ability effciently. It also combines the crowding distance to guarantee the diversity of Pareto optimal solutions. We compare the BBMO with two representative state-of-the-art evolutionary multi-objective optimization methods, non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II (NSGA-II) and archive-based micro genetic algorithm (AMGA) in terms of three metrics. Simulation results indicate that in most cases, the proposed BBMO is able to find much better spread of solutions and converge faster to true Pareto optimal fronts than NSGA-II and AMGA do.     

Biogeographic harmony search for emergency air transportation

Harmony search (HS) and biogeography-based optimization (BBO) are two metaheuristic optimization methods which have demonstrated effectiveness on a wide variety of optimization problems. The paper proposes a new hybrid biogeographic harmony search (BHS) method, which integrates the blended migration operator of BBO with HS to enrich harmony diversity, and thus achieves a much better balance between exploration and exploitation. We then apply the BHS method to an emergency air transportation problem, and show that the proposed method is very competitive with the state-of-the-art BBO, HS, and other comparative algorithms on a set of problem instances from real-world disaster relief operations in China.
