The biogeography-based optimization (BBO) algorithm is known for its simplicity and low computational overhead, but it often struggles with falling into local optima and slow convergence speed. Against this background, this work presents a multi-strategy enhanced BBO variant, named MSBBO. Firstly, the example chasing strategy is proposed to eliminate the destruction of the inferior solutions to superior solutions. Secondly, the heuristic crossover strategy is designed to enhance the search ability of the population. Finally, the prey search–attack strategy is used to balance the exploration and exploitation. To verify the performance of MSBBO, we compare it with standard BBO, seven BBO variants (PRBBO, BBOSB, HGBBO, FABBO, BLEHO, MPBBO and BBOIMAM) and seven meta-heuristic algorithms (GWO, WOA, SSA, ChOA, MPA, GJO and BWO) on multiple dimensions of 24 benchmark functions. It concludes that MSBBO significantly outperforms all competitors both on convergence accuracy, speed and stability, and MSBBO basically converges to the same results on 10,000 dimensions as on 1000 dimensions. Further, MSBBO is applied to six real-world engineering design problems. The experimental results show that our work is still more competitive than other latest optimization techniques (COA, EDO, OMA, SHO and SCSO) on constrained optimization problems. Full article

To address the drawbacks of the slow convergence speed and lack of individual information exchange in the cuckoo search (CS) algorithm, this study proposes an improved cuckoo search algorithm based on a sharing mechanism (ICSABOSM). The enhanced algorithm reinforces information sharing among individuals through the utilization of a sharing mechanism. Additionally, new search strategies are introduced in both the global and local searches of the CS. The results from numerical experiments on four standard test functions indicate that the improved algorithm outperforms the original CS in terms of search capability and performance. Building upon the improved algorithm, this paper introduces a numerical solution approach for differential equations involving the coupling of function approximation and intelligent algorithms. By constructing an approximate function using Fourier series to satisfy the conditions of the given differential equation and boundary conditions with minimal error, the proposed method minimizes errors while satisfying the differential equation and boundary conditions. The problem of solving the differential equation is then transformed into an optimization problem with the coefficients of the approximate function as variables. Furthermore, the improved cuckoo search algorithm is employed to solve this optimization problem. The specific steps of applying the improved algorithm to solve differential equations are illustrated through examples. The research outcomes broaden the application scope of the cuckoo optimization algorithm and provide a new perspective for solving differential equations. Full article

The process of software development is incomplete without software testing. Software testing expenses account for almost half of all development expenses. The automation of the testing process is seen to be a technique for reducing the cost of software testing. An NP-complete optimization challenge is to generate the test data with the highest branch coverage in the shortest time. The primary goal of this research is to provide test data that covers all branches of a software unit. Increasing the convergence speed, the success rate, and the stability of the outcomes are other goals of this study. An efficient bioinspired technique is suggested in this study to automatically generate test data utilizing the discretized Bat Optimization Algorithm (BOA). Modifying and discretizing the BOA and adapting it to the test generation problem are the main contributions of this study. In the first stage of the proposed method, the source code of the input program is statistically analyzed to identify the branches and their predicates. Then, the developed discretized BOA iteratively generates effective test data. The fitness function was developed based on the program’s branch coverage. The proposed method was implemented along with the previous one. The experiments’ results indicated that the suggested method could generate test data with about 99.95% branch coverage with a limited amount of time (16 times lower than the time of similar algorithms); its success rate was 99.85% and the average number of required iterations to cover all branches is 4.70. Higher coverage, higher speed, and higher stability make the proposed method suitable as an efficient test generation method for real-world large software. Full article
