Abstract

A bioheuristic algorithm modeling patterns of locust swarm behavior for solving optimization problems of multidimensional multiextremal functions is proposed. The application of methods based on the methodology of algorithms inspired by nature is shown. The provisions of the theory of artificial intelligence and bioinspired computing, the theory of decision-making and optimization methods are considered. The aim of the work is to develop bioheuristics that can maintain a balance between the convergence rate of the algorithm and the diversification of the solution search space. The algorithm has been experimentally tested on three benchmarks representing multidimensional functions. The results are compared with competing bio heuristics of particle swarm and differential evolution. The statistical significance of the results was verified using the Wilcoxon rank sum T-test.
