An improved termite life cycle optimizer algorithm for global function optimization.

ABSTRACT: The termite life cycle optimizer algorithm (TLCO) is a new bionic meta-heuristic algorithm that emulates the natural behavior of termites in their natural habitat. This work presents an improved TLCO (ITLCO) to increase the speed and accuracy of convergence. A novel strategy for worker generation is established to enhance communication between individuals in the worker population and termite population. This strategy would prevent the original worker generation strategy from effectively balancing algorithm convergence and population diversity to reduce the risk of the algorithm in reaching a local optimum. A novel soldier generation strategy is proposed, which incorporates a step factor that adheres to the principles of evolution to further enhance the algorithm's convergence speed. Furthe
