Membrane System-based Optimization Algorithm for Numeric Optimization Problem

Abstract

In this paper, an optimization algorithm based on membrane system is proposed for numerical optimization problems. In the proposed algorithm, we designed two mechanisms to simulate the movement of molecules in arbitrary direction and a certain direction to balance global exploration and local exploitation. To test the performance of the proposed algorithm, eight benchmark functions were chosen. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is more advantageous than other experimental algorithms in solving numerical optimization problems.
