Improved Adaptive Komodo Mlipir Algorithm

In order to improve the global search performance of the Komodo Mlipir Algorithm, this paper proposed two adaptive Komodo Mlipir Algorithms with variable fixed parameters (IKMA-1; IKMA-2). Among them, IKMA-1 adaptively controls the parthenogenesis radius of female Komodo dragons to achieve more efficient conversion of global search and local search. Second, IKMA-2 introduces adaptive weighting factors to the “mlipir” movement formula of Komodo dragons to improve the local search performance. Both IKMA-1 and IKMA-2 were tested on 23 benchmark functions in CEC2013 and compared with the other seven optimization algorithms. The Wilcoxon rank-sum test and Friedman rank test were used to compare the performance of different algorithms. Furthermore, IKMA-1 and IKMA-2 are applied to two constrained engineering optimization problems to verify the engineering applicability of the improved algorithm. The results show that both IKMA-1 and IKMA-2 have better convergence accuracy than the initial KMA. In terms of the benchmark function simulation results, IKMA-1 improves the performance by 17.58% compared to KMA; IKMA-2 improves by 10.99%. Both IKMA-1 and IKMA-2 achieve better results than other algorithms for engineering optimization problems, and IKMA-2 outperforms IKMA-1.
