Abstract:

A combination of genetic algorithm and bacterial foraging optimization algorithm (GA-BFO) was presented to solve the nonlinear model optimization problems. Firstly, GA-BFO employed genetic algorithm to conduct global search and reduce the exploiting range of global optimum. Secondly, GA-BFO employed the bacterial foraging optimization algorithm to conduct local search in the reduced range. This combined search strategy could both enhance the convergence of GA-BFO and balance global search and local search. Three typical nonlinear function models including unimodal, multi-peak and complex multi-peak models were used to test the performance of the proposed algorithm. Experimental results showed that GA-BFO could achieve 30% and 50% precision improvements for GA and BFO respectively. Above results indicated the combined optimization approach had faster convergence speed and higher calculation precision, and it was more suitable for solving large-scale nonlinear problems with multiple optima.

Key words: genetic algorithm, bacterial foraging optimization, combination algorithm, global search, local search, nonlinear model
