Self-Adaptive Artificial Bee Colony for Function Optimization

Algorithm 1

Pseudo-code of basic ABC algorithm.

() Initialize the parameters.

() Initialize N solutions to construct an initial population.

() Evaluate the fitness values of each solution.

() cycle = 1.

() Repeat

()  Generate a offspring individual by Eq. (4) and evaluate its quality.

()  Compare and select the better one.

()  Calculate probabilities through Eq. (2).

()  Produce randomly a number in 0, 1.

()  Generate a offspring individual by Eq. (4) and evaluate its quality.

()  Compare and select the better one.

()  Memorize the best solution achieved so far.

()  cycle = cycle + 1.

() Until cycle=Maximum cycle number
