Abstract
Aiming at the defects of the sparrow search algorithm (SSA), such as a deficient optimization accuracy and low search efficiency, the sparrow search algorithm based on quantum computations and multi-strategy enhancement (QMESSA) is proposed. Firstly, based on a diversified initial population strategy, an improved circle chaotic mapping theory was proposed, and an initial population with more randomness and diversity was obtained by combining quantum computations with a quantum gate mutation mechanism. Secondly, using an enhanced search strategy, an adaptive T-distribution and a new position update formula were constructed to accelerate the convergence and enhance its variability. Finally, a dynamic evolution formula was designed for the precision elimination mechanism. Based on this, individuals with poor fitness are replaced by new individuals generated using this formula. In addition, a new boundary control strategy was proposed. The convergence of QMESSA was systematically proven, and the proposed algorithm was tested on 24 benchmark functions and CEC 2017 functions. The experiment results as well as the results of a Wilcoxon rank-sum test show that QMESSA achieves a better comprehensive performance than SSA and other advanced optimization algorithms. Finally, the superiority of QMESSA was verified for several classical practical application problems. The source code of QMESSA is available at https://ww2.mathworks.cn/matlabcentral/fileexchange/120013-project1-0.
