Optimization Algorithm Based on Biology Life Cycle Theory

Bio-inspired optimization algorithms have been widely used to solve various scientific and engineering problems. Inspired by biology life cycle, this paper presents a novel optimization algorithm called Lifecycle-based Swarm Optimization. LSO algorithm simulates biologic life cycle process through six optimization operators: chemotactic, assimilation, transposition, crossover, selection and mutation. Experiments were conducted on 7 unimodal functions. The results demonstrate remarkable performance of the LSO algorithm on those functions when compared to several successful optimization techniques.
