In this paper, an improved wolf colony algorithm (WCA), named as efficient adaptive wolf pack search (EAWPS) algorithm was proposed. EAWPS adopts population manager strategy, adaptive sharing factor and boundary condition to avoid falling into the local minimum and to significantly improve the efficiency of WCA. The efficacy of EAWPS is compared with the original WCA and the standard PSO on six benchmark functions, the experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm has a superior performance in both speed and accuracy.
