Abstract EN
The backtracking search optimization algorithm (BSA) is a population-based evolutionary algorithm for numerical optimization problems.
BSA has a powerful global exploration capacity while its local exploitation capability is relatively poor.
This affects the convergence speed of the algorithm.
In this paper, we propose a modified BSA inspired by simulated annealing (BSAISA) to overcome the deficiency of BSA.
In the BSAISA, the amplitude control factor (F) is modified based on the Metropolis criterion in simulated annealing.
The redesigned F could be adaptively decreased as the number of iterations increases and it does not introduce extra parameters.
A self-adaptive ε-constrained method is used to handle the strict constraints.
We compared the performance of the proposed BSAISA with BSA and other well-known algorithms when solving thirteen constrained benchmarks and five engineering design problems.
The simulation results demonstrated that BSAISA is more effective than BSA and more competitive with other well-known algorithms in terms of convergence speed.
