Abstract

Shuffled frog-leaping algorithm (SFLA) is comparatively a recent addition to the family of nontraditional population-based search methods that mimics the social and natural behavior of species (frogs). SFLA merges the advantages of particle swarm optimization (PSO) and genetic algorithm (GA). Though SFLA has been successfully applied to solve many benchmark and real-time problems it limits the convergence speed. In order to improve its performance, the frog with the best position in each memeplexes is allowed to slightly modify its position using random walk. This process improves the local search around the best position. The proposal is named improved local search in SFLA (ILS-SFLA). For validation, three engineering optimization problems are consulted from the literature. The simulated results defend the efficacy of the proposal when compared to state-of-the-art algorithms.
