The artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm, which has been widely studied for years, is a stochastic algorithm for solving global optimization problems. Taking advantage of the information of a global best solution, the Gbest-guided artificial bee colony (GABC) algorithm goes further by modifying the solution search equation. However, the coefficient in its equation is based only on a numerical test and is not suitable for all problems. Therefore, we propose a novel algorithm named the Gbest-guided ABC algorithm with gradient information (GABCG) to make up for its weakness. Without coefficient factors, a new solution search equation based on variable gradients is established. Besides, the gradients are also applied to differentiate the priority of different variables and enhance the judgment of abandoned solutions. Extensive experiments are conducted on a set of benchmark functions with the GABCG algorithm. The results demonstrate that the GABCG algorithm is more effective than the traditional ABC algorithm and the GABC algorithm, especially in the latter stages of the evolution.

Bee Colony

Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) is one of the most recent nature inspired (NIA) algorithms based on swarming metaphor. Proposed by Karaboga in 2005, ABC has proven to be a robust and efficient algorithm for solving global optimization problems over continuous space. However, it has been observed that the structure of ABC is such that it supports exploration more in comparison to exploitation. In order to maintain a balance between these two antagonist factors, this paper suggests incorporation of differential evolution (DE) operators in the structure of basic ABC algorithm. The proposed algorithm called DE-ABC is validated on a set of 10 benchmark problems and the numerical results are compared with basic DE and basic ABC algorithm. The numerical results indicate that the presence of DE operators help in a significant improvement in the performance of ABC algorithm.
