Paired-bacteria optimiser - A simple and fast algorithm
Most of Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) do not fully explore the potential of searching ability and are time consuming. This paper presents a fast bacteria-inspired optimisation algorithm: Paired-Bacteria Optimiser (PBO), which incorporates the underlying mechanisms of bacterial chemotaxis and quorum sensing, and has only two bacteria in a population. The experimental results show that PBO has not only a promising performance of searching for accurate solutions, but also a fast convergence rate, which are evaluated using benchmark functions.
