Abstract EN
Biogeography-based optimization (BBO) is a new biogeography inspired, population-based algorithm, which mainly uses migration operator to share information among solutions.
Similar to crossover operator in genetic algorithm, migration operator is a probabilistic operator and only generates the vertex of a hyperrectangle defined by the emigration and immigration vectors.
Therefore, the exploration ability of BBO may be limited.
Orthogonal crossover operator with quantization technique (QOX) is based on orthogonal design and can generate representative solution in solution space.
In this paper, a BBO variant is presented through embedding the QOX operator in BBO algorithm.
Additionally, a modified migration equation is used to improve the population diversity.
Several experiments are conducted on 23 benchmark functions.
Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is capable of locating the optimal or closed-to-optimal solution.
Comparisons with other variants of BBO algorithms and state-of-the-art orthogonal-based evolutionary algorithms demonstrate that our proposed algorithm possesses faster global convergence rate, high-precision solution, and stronger robustness.
Finally, the analysis result of the performance of QOX indicates that QOX plays a key role in the proposed algorithm.
