Abstract

Krill Herd algorithm is one of most recently developed nature-inspired optimization algorithms which is inspired by herding behavior of krill individuals. In order to improve the performance of this algorithm to deal more effectively with high dimensional numerical functions, we propose a new method, called Focus Group idea to modify the solutions found by searching agents in group cooperation. In order to evaluate the effect of the proposed method on the performance of the Krill Herd algorithm, we conducted experiments on a set standard benchmark functions. The obtained results demonstrate the ability of the proposed method to improve the performance of the Krill Herd optimization algorithm.
