A Novel Complex Valued Cuckoo Search Algorithm

Abstract EN

To expand the information of nest individuals, the idea of complex-valued encoding is used in cuckoo search (PCS); the gene of individuals is denoted by plurality, so a diploid swarm is structured by a sequence plurality.

The value of independent variables for objective function is determined by modules, and a sign of them is determined by angles.

The position of nest is divided into two parts, namely, real part gene and imaginary gene.

The updating relation of complex-valued swarm is presented.

Six typical functions are tested.

The results are compared with cuckoo search based on real-valued encoding; the usefulness of the proposed algorithm is verified.
