Abstract

Biogeography-based optimization (BBO) is a recently-developed algorithm that uses migration to share information among candidate solutions. We use differential evolution algorithm's mutation operator to improve the individual migration operator, and take an adaptive method in setting the value of the scaling factor. The new individual migration is combined with two traditional gene migrations, thus we get a new multiple migrations operator. The biogeography-based optimization with multiple migrations (HLBBO) is proposed based on this new operator. Experiments have been conducted on 25 benchmarks from the 2005 Congress on Evolutionary Computation. Compared with BBO algorithm and linearized BBO, the results show that the proposed algorithm HLBBO can improve the convergence speed and solution accuracy. And the boxplot of the best fitness value show the algorithm' s stability.
