Modified artificial bee colony algorithm with differential evolution to enhance precision and convergence performance

作者:

Highlights:

• A novel modified algorithm denoted “modified ABC by DE” (mABC) is introduced.

• The exploitation ability of ABC is enhanced by modifying the onlooker bee phase.

• mABC is even validated by bencmarking with recent ABC variants.

• The mean ranks of mABC are 1.4 and 2.3 for benchmark functions and CEC 2014.

• mABC outperforms the other variants averagely for 38 of 50 benchmark functions.
