Xiongfa Mai, Ling Li · Advanced materials research · 2013
Bacterial Foraging Algorithm (BFA) has recently emerged as a very powerful technique for optimization,but it also confronts the problems of slow convergence and premature convergence. To overcome the drawbacks of BFA, This article merge the idea of particle swarm optimization algorithm with adaptive inertia weigh into the bacterial foraging to improve the speed and convergence capabilities of BFA, and according to this a bacterial foraging algorithm based on PSO(APSO-BFA) is presented. Simulation results on five systems of nonlinear equations show that the proposed algorithm is superior to the other two kinds of bacterial foraging algorithm
