Central Force Optimization

Abstract

Central Force Optimization(CFO) is a new deterministic multi-dimensional optimization algorithm based on the metaphor of gravitational kinematics.The probes'positions and accelerations equations are determined using the analogy of particle motion in a gravitational field.In CFO,through the acceleration updates to realize the objective function fitness updates and simulation in physics universal gravitation choose to find the optimal solution of the optimal solution.Introduced is the new optimization algorithm emphatically,and the result of this algorithm is analyzed.Based on this idea,presented is a kind of improved gravity center,and the optimization algorithm for several typical examples of the algorithm is validated,and the results indicate that the algorithm is effective.
