A New Discrete Grid-Based Bacterial Foraging Optimizer to Solve Complex Influence Maximization of Social Networks
Algorithm 1
BFO algorithm.
(1)
Initialize the food sources ().
(2)
Elimination-dispersal loop: l = 1 to Ned do
(3)
Reproduction loop: k = 1 to Nre do
(4)
Chemotaxis loop: j = 1 to Nc do
(5)
For each i = 1 to S do
(6)
Compute fitness function for ith bacteria, J (i, j, k, l).
(7)
Let .
(8)
Tumble: generate a random vector .
(9)
Swim: continue to move in the direction of with the chemotactic step-size , and update the location of ith bacteria until the fitness value does not become better.
