The immune quantum-inspired evolutionary algorithm
Ying Li, Yanning Zhang, Rongchun Zhao, Licheng Jiao · 2005
By leading immune concepts and methods into quantum-inspired evolutionary algorithm (QEA), a novel algorithm, the immune quantum-inspired evolutionary algorithm (IQEA), is proposed. On condition of preserving QEA's advantages, IQEA utilizes some characteristics and knowledge in the pending problems for restraining the repeat and ineffective operations during evolution, so as to improve the algorithm efficiency. The experimental results of the knapsack problem show that the performance of IQEA is superior to the conventional EA (CEA), the immune EA (IEA) and QEA.
