Fuzzy Krill Herd (FKH): An improved optimization algorithm

Abstract

Krill Herd (KH) optimization algorithm was recently proposed based on herding behavior of krill individuals in the nature for solving optimization problems. In this paper, we develop Standard Krill Herd (SKH) algorithm and propose Fuzzy Krill Herd (FKH) optimization algorithm which is able to dynamically adjust the participation amount of exploration and exploitation by looking the progress of solving the problem in each step. In order to evaluate the proposed FKH algorithm, we utilize some standard benchmark functions and also Inventory Control Problem. Experimental results indicate the superiority of our proposed FKH optimization algorithm in comparison with the standard KH optimization algorithm.
