An Improved Marriage in Honey Bees Optimization Algorithm for Single Objective Unconstrained Optimization

Algorithm 2

Proposed IMBO algorithm.

Initialize

Randomly generate the queens

Apply local search to get a good queen

For a pre-defined maximum number of mating-flights (Maximum Iteration)

  While spermatheca not full

    Add its sperm to the queen’s spermatheca by Levy Flight  (7)

  End while

  Generate broods by crossover and mutation

  Use workers to improve the broods by single inheritance single neighborhood (8)

  Update workers’ fitness

  While the best brood is better than the worst queen

    Replace the least-fittest queen with the best brood

    Remove the best brood from the brood list

  End while

End for
