Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm (ABCA) is a new population-based meta-heuristic approach inspired by the foraging behaviour of bees. This article describes an application of a novel Hybrid Differential Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm (HDABCA), which combines Differential Evolution strategy with Artificial Bee Colony algorithm. We illustrate the proposed method using several test functions and also compared with classical differential evolution algorithm and artificial bee colony algorithm. Simulation results illustrate that the proposed method is very efficient.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
