Enhanced Brain Storm Optimization Algorithm Based on Modified Nelder–Mead and Elite Learning Mechanism

Brain storm optimization algorithm (BSO) is a popular swarm intelligence algorithm. A significant part of BSO to divide the population into different clusters with clustering strategy, and blind disturbance operator used generate offspring. However, this mechanism easy lead premature convergence due lacking effective direction information. In paper, an enhanced based on modified Nelder–Mead elite learning (BSONME) proposed improve performance BSO. BSONEM algorithm, method explore evolutionary direction. The guide exploit promising region, reinitialization strategy alleviate stagnation caused by individual homogenization. CEC2014 benchmark problems two engineering management prediction are assess Experimental results statistical analyses show that competitive compared several improved algorithms.
