Abstract

Magnetotactic bacteria is a kind of prokaryotes with the characteristics of magnetotaxis. Magnetotactic bacteria optimization algorithm (MBOA) is an optimization algorithm based on the characteristics of magnetotaxis. It mimics the development process of magnetosomes (MTSs) in magnetotactic bacteria. In this chapter, four pairwise MTSs regulation schemes based on the best individual and randomly chosen one are proposed to study which scheme is more suitable for solving optimization problems. They are tested on 14 functions and compared with many popular optimization algorithms, including PSO, DE, ABC, and their variants. Experimental results show that all the schemes of MBOA are effective for solving most of test functions but have different performance on a few test functions. The fourth MBOA scheme has superior performance to the compared methods on many test functions. In this scheme, the algorithm searches around the current best individual to enhance the convergence of MBOA and the individual can migrate to the current best individual to enhance the diversity of the MBOA.
