Bull Optimization Algorithm Based On Genetic Operators For Continuous Optimization Problems, Oğuz Findik
Bull Optimization Algorithm Based On Genetic Operators For Continuous Optimization Problems, Oğuz Findik
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this paper, the researcher proposes a new evolutionary optimization algorithm that depends on genetic operators such as crossover and mutation, referred to as the bull optimization algorithm (BOA). This new optimization algorithm is called the BOA because the best individual is used to produce offspring individuals. The selection algorithm used in the genetic algorithm (GA) is removed from the proposed algorithm. Instead of the selection algorithm, individuals initially produced attempt to achieve better individuals. In the proposed method, crossover operation is always performed by using the best individual. The mutation process is carried out by using individual positions. In …

A Hierarchic Approach Based On Swarm Intelligence To Solve The Traveling Salesman Problem, Mesut Gündüz, Mustafa Servet Kiran, Eren Özceylan
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The purpose of this paper is to present a new hierarchic method based on swarm intelligence algorithms for solving the well-known traveling salesman problem. The swarm intelligence algorithms implemented in this study are divided into 2 types: path construction-based and path improvement-based methods. The path construction-based method (ant colony optimization (ACO)) produces good solutions but takes more time to achieve a good solution, while the path improvement-based technique (artificial bee colony (ABC)) quickly produces results but does not achieve a good solution in a reasonable time. Therefore, a new hierarchic method, which consists of both ACO and ABC, is proposed …
