Enhanced colliding bodies optimization for design problems with continuous and discrete variables
A new multi-agent algorithm inspired by a collision between two objects in one-dimension is presented. An enhanced colliding bodies optimization which uses memory to save some best solutions is developed. A mechanism is utilized to escape from local optima. Performance of the proposed algorithm is compared to those of standard CBO and some optimization techniques.
