Abstract:

An evolutionary algorithm of multi-directional compulsive search strategy for dominant individuals is proposed to evaluate the health of global search of current population by examining individual difference index.When the optimization results stagnate for a long time, the health index becomes worse and the multi-direction forced search strategy of the dominant individual is started to expand the search direction of the dominant individual near the local optimal solution region, so as to ensure the global search ability of the algorithm.The strategy was applied to 15SP and 20SP calculation examples and results were compared with optimal results in the literature.They are decreased by 1.09% and 0.83%, respectively.It in dicates that the dominant individual multi-directional compulsive search strategy exerts fully the evolutionary potential of the dominant individual and improves the optimization efficiency of the algorithm.
