A novel numerical optimization algorithm inspired from cell communication mechanism

Abstract

Intelligent optimization algorithms have been successfully applied in different fields, and many practical problems have been solved, the economic benefit is increased. In this article, by studying the characteristics of medium transmission between cells and the mode of cell communication, we propose a new global optimization algorithm: cell communication optimization (CCO) combined with global optimization algorithm. The CCO is much simpler and more robust optimization algorithm compared with particle swarm optimization (PSO), improved PSO (IPSO) and fruit fly optimization algorithm (FOA). Six numerical experiment results show that the CCO had excellent global optimization capability and the ability to obtain accurate solution, the convergence precision is much higher than the other three methods.
