Root Growth Optimizer with Self-Similar Propagation
(1) Initialize the positions of root apices | (2) Calculate the fitness values of each root apex | (3) While not meet the terminal condition | (4) Divide all the root apices into main roots, lateral roots and aging roots | (5) For each main root apex | Regrow with the root regrowing operator | Branch with the root branching operator | Evaluate the fitness value of new root apices | Implement inhibition mechanism of plant hormones | End for | (6) For each lateral root apex | Produce a new apex replacing the original one | End for | (7) Implement shrinkage operator | (8) Rank root apices and label elite roots | (9) End while | (10) Postprocess results |
