A scattering and repulsive swarm intelligence algorithm for solving global optimization problems

作者:

Highlights:

• Three swarm intelligence algorithms (RFA, SRFA and ESRFA) have been proposed.

• RFA accelerates the search process by avoiding unpromising regions.

• SRFA scatters weak solutions to new search regions to increase exploration.

• ESRFA conducts hovering, sharp-dive and best memory-guided search operations.

• They outperform other classical and state-of-the-art optimization methods.
