Multistrategy Improved Dung Beetle Optimization Algorithm and Its Application in ALBP-1
摘要
The Dung beetle optimizer (DBO) is a novel metaheuristic algorithm with certain limitations, including suboptimal convergence accuracy and local optima entrapment. To address these issues, this study proposes a modified reinforced DBO (MRDBO) featuring three key enhancements: (1) performing chaotic mapping for improved population initialization, (2) RIME-inspired soft-rime search for faster convergence, and (3) adaptive hybrid mutation with greedy selection to prevent stagnation. A comprehensive evaluation using 14 benchmark functions against 30 competing algorithms confirms the superior performance of MRDBO. Practical validation through assembly line balancing applications further demonstrated its effectiveness.
