Clonal operator and antibody clone algorithms

Based on clonal selection theory, the main mechanisms of a clone in the immune system, which are explored in the field of artificial intelligence, are analyzed. An artificial immune system algorithm, antibody clone algorithm, is put forward. Compared with an improved gene algorithm, the new algorithm is shown to be an evolutionary strategy capable of solving complex machine learning tasks, like multi-modal optimization. Using Markov chain theories, it is proved that the antibody clone algorithm is convergent.
