Description
Summary:Biogeography-Based Optimization (BBO) has recently gained interest of researchers due to its simplicity in implementation, efficiency and existence of very few parameters. The BBO algorithm is a new type of optimization technique based on biogeography concept. This population-based algorithm uses the idea of the migration strategy of animals or other species for solving optimization problems. the original BBO sometimes has not resulted in desirable outcomes. Migration, mutation and elitism are three Principal operators in BBO. The migration operator plays an important role in sharing information among candidate habitats. This paper proposes a novel migration operator in Original BBO. The proposed BBO is named as PBBO and new migration operator is examined over 12 test problems. Also, results are compared with original BBO and others Meta-heuristic algorithms. Results show that PBBO outperforms over basic BBO and other considered variants of BBO.
