Research on the solving of nonlinear equation group based on artificial bee colony algorithm

An improved artificial bee colony algorithm (IABC) is proposed in this paper, which is aimed at some defects of ABC such as low optimization precision and easy to fall into local optimal value. A new method is introduced to produce a new solution when the bees are going on neighborhood search in the improved algorithm. IABC is as simple as ABC to implement, but can greatly improve the ability of seeking the global excellent result and the convergence property and accuracy. The feasibility and effectiveness of the new approach was verified through some nonlinear equations and functions. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is significantly superior to original ABC.
