High-quality-guided artificial bee colony algorithm for designing loudspeaker

Abstract

Designing the loudspeaker could be concerned as an optimization problem. Like most electromagnetic device design issues, it demonstrates multimodal, multidimensional and constrained. The traditional design method cannot achieve a satisfactory model within a certain period of time. In this paper, a high-quality-guided artificial bee colony algorithm is proposed to increase its convergence speed and search accuracy by gradually changing the number of updating dimensions and searching closer to better locations. The algorithm is first tested on some representative basic benchmark functions and then is applied to a loudspeaker design problem. By comparing with some classical algorithms, the performance of our algorithm is verified.
