Abstract

As an efficient optimization technique, artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm has attracted a lot of attention for its good performance. However, ABC is good at exploration but poor at exploitation for its solution search equation. Thus, how to enhance the exploitation becomes an active research trend. In this paper, we propose a trigonometric search equation in which a hypergeometric triangle is formed to generate offspring. Additionally, the orthogonal learning strategy is integrated into the scout bee phase for generating new food source. Experiments are conducted on 23 well-known benchmark functions, and the results show that our approach has promising performance.
