Abstract: Artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm is a promising evolutionary algorithm inspired by the foraging behaviour of honey bee swarm, which has obtained satisfactory solutions in diverse applications. However, the basic ABC often demonstrates insufficient exploitation capability in some cases. To address this concerning issue, a chaotic artificial bee colony with elite opposition-based learning strategy (CEOABC) is proposed in this paper. During the search process, CEOABC employs the chaotic local search to promote the exploitation ability. Moreover, the elite opposition-based learning strategy is utilised to exploit the potential information of the exhausted solution. Experimental results compared with several ABC variants show that CEOABC is a competitive approach for global optimisation.

Keywords: artificial bee colony; ABC; chaotic local search; opposition-based learning; OBL; elite strategy.
