Abstract

This paper investigates the effect to ensemble teaching learning-based optimization (TLBO) with other meta-heuristics methods like artificial bee colony (ABC), biogeography-based optimization (BBO), differential evolution (DE) and genetic algorithm (GA). Three different schemes to generate sub-population from the main population are proposed, and the effect of migration of solutions from one sub-population to the other is also explored. The experiments are performed on different unconstrained and constrained benchmark optimization problems. The results are investigated using the statistical test like Friedman rank test and Holm-Sidak post hoc test. The results reveal that the ensemble of different optimization methods is effective than the basic algorithms.
