| Summary: | Dung beetle optimizer (DBO) is an intelligent optimization algorithm proposed in recent years. Like other optimization algorithms, DBO also has disadvantages such as low convergence accuracy and easy to fall into local optimum. A multi-strategy improved dung beetle optimizer (MIDBO) is proposed. Firstly, it improves acceptance of local and global optimal solutions by brood balls and thieves, so that the beetles can dynamically change according to their own searching ability, which not only improves the population quality but also maintains the good searching ability of individuals with high fitness. Secondly, the follower position updating mechanism in the sparrow search algorithm is integrated to disturb the algorithm, and the greedy strategy is used to update the location, which improves the convergence accuracy of the algorithm. Finally, when the algorithm stagnates, Cauchy Gaussian variation strategy is introduced to improve the ability of the algorithm to jump out of the local optimal solution. Based on 20 benchmark test functions and CEC2019 test function, the simulation experiment verifies the effectiveness of the three improved strategies. The convergence analysis of the optimization results of the improved algorithm and the comparison algorithms and Wilcoxon rank sum test prove that MIDBO has good optimization performance and robustness. The validity and reliability of MIDBO in solving practical engineering problems are further verified by applying MIDBO to the solution of automobile collision optimization problems.
