On the Analysis of Performance of the Improved Artificial-Bee-Colony Algorithm

This paper introduces an improved artificial colony algorithm. In the algorithm, a new search iteration operator based on the fixed point theorem of Contractive Mapping in Banach Spaces is proposed. In this work, the improved artificial colony algorithm is used to 10 multivariable benchmark functions. The simulation results show that the algorithm possesses an excellent performance in the global optimization, and can be efficiently employed to solve the multimodal engineering problems with high dimensionality.
