An estimation method of optimal feature factor based on the balance of exploration and exploitation

Abstract

Under the background of the balance of exploration and exploitation, this paper analyzes the causes of the optimization hardness by using the concepts of effective ratio of exploration and exploitation. Then, a novel method is proposed to estimate the optimal feature factor, which is the essential part of optimal contraction theorem. At last, the method is tested with eight test functions. Some disadvantages of optimal feature factors are found by analysis the test results.
