Abstract:

The electromagnetism-like mechanism(EM) algorithm is a new heuristic algorithm for global optimization. By analyzing the optimization mechanism of EM, an improved Electromagnetism-like Mechanism algorithm, which is an Electromagnetism-like Mechanism algorithm based on the good point set, is proposed. The new algorithm constructs the initial population by using the principles of the good point set in the number theory, and improves the local search algorithm. This algorithm calculates the total force vector between particles by using the modified equation, and designs an adaptive move operator to update the location of those particles. Experimental results show that the improved algorithm can converge to the global optima more effectively and accurately.

Key words: electromagnetism-like mechanism algorithm, good point set, global optimization
