Discrete Optimization Algorithm Based on Probability Distribution with Transformation of Target Values

Problems of search optimization in a discrete space, particularly, in a binary space where a variable can take only two values, are of great practical importance. This paper proposes a new population-based discrete optimization algorithm that uses probability distributions of variables. The distribu...

Description
Summary:Problems of search optimization in a discrete space, particularly, in a binary space where a variable can take only two values, are of great practical importance. This paper proposes a new population-based discrete optimization algorithm that uses probability distributions of variables. The distributions determine the probability of taking one or another discrete value and are generated by transforming target values of solutions into their weight coefficients. The performance of the algorithm is evaluated using unimodal and multimodal test functions with binary variables. The experimental results demonstrate the high efficiency of the proposed algorithm in terms of convergence rate and stability.
