Modified Biogeography-Based Optimization with Local Search Mechanism

Algorithm 3

Pseudocode of Cauchy mutation operator.

(1) Begin

(2) For   i = 1 to NP

(3)   Compute the mutation probability p

(4)   Select variable 𝐻_𝑖 with probability p

(5)    If   𝐻_𝑖 is selected

(6)     𝐻_𝑖(𝑆𝐼𝑉)=𝐻_𝑖(𝑆𝐼𝑉)+𝛿(1)

(7)    Endif

(8) Endfor

(9) End
