Hierarchical Swarm Model: A New Approach to Optimization

Algorithm 1

// Definition of the fitness landscape.

For (i = 1 to number of peaks p)

 For (j = 1 to number of Dimension D)

  landscape (i, j) = rand();

 End for

End for

// the fitness f is computed as follows:

f = 0;

For (i = 1 to number of peaks p)

 q = 0;

 For (j = 1 to number of Dimension D)

  If (𝑥(j) = landscape (i, j))

   𝑞=𝑞+1;

  End if

 End for

 If (𝑓<𝑞)

  𝑓=𝑞;

 End if

End for

𝑓=1−𝑓/𝐷.
