A Biologic Behavior Simulation： Living Migration Algorithm （LMA）

Biologic behaviors are the principal source for proposing new intelligent algorithms. Based on the mechanism of the bio-subsistence and the bio-migration, this paper proposes a novel algorithm-Living Migration Algorithm （LMA）. The original contributions of LMA are three essential attributes of each individual： the minimal life-needs which are the necessaries for survival, the migrating which is a basal action for searching new living space, and the judging which is an important ability of deciding whether to migrate or not. When living space of all individuals can satisfy the minimal life-needs at some generation, they are considered as the optimal living places where objective functions will obtain the optima. LMA may be employed in large-scale computation and engineering field. The paper mostly operates LMA to deal with four non-linear and heterogeneous optimizations, and experiments prove LMA has better performances than Free Search algorithm.
