A novel algorithm of artificial immune system for high-dimensional function numerical optimization

Artificial immune system has become a researchhot spot after the neural network, fuzzy logic andevolutionary computation1,2]. Clone means propagat ing asexually so that a group of genetically identicalcells can be descended from a single common ances tor, such as a bacterial colony whose members arisefrom a single original cell as the result of binary fis sion. The idea has been extensively applied in somefields like computer programming3,4], system con trol5], interactive para…

A novel algorithm of artificial immune system for high-dimensional function numerical optimization

Based on the clonal selection theory and immune memory theory, a novel artificial immune system algorithm, immune memory clonal programming algorithm (IMCPA), is put forward. Using the theorem of Markov chain, it is proved that IMCPA is convergent. Compared with some other evolutionary programming algorithms (like Breeder genetic algorithm), IMCPA is shown to be an evolutionary strategy capable of solving complex machine learning tasks, like high-dimensional function optimization, which maintains the diversity of the population and avoids prematurity to some extent, and has a higher convergence speed.
