This paper proposes a new variant of ABC algorithm, namely, enhanced ABC with solution acceptance rule and probabilistic multisearch (ABC-SA) to address global optimization problems. A new solution acceptance rule is proposed where, instead of greedy selection between old solution and new candidate solution, worse candidate solutions have a probability to be accepted. Additionally, the acceptance probability of worse candidates is nonlinearly decreased throughout the search process adaptively. Moreover, in order to improve the performance of the ABC and balance the intensification and diversification, a probabilistic multisearch strategy is presented. Three different search equations with distinctive characters are employed using predetermined search probabilities. By implementing a new solution acceptance rule and a probabilistic multisearch approach, the intensification and diversification performance of the ABC algorithm is improved. The proposed algorithmhas been tested on well-known benchmark functions of varying dimensions by comparing against novel ABC variants, as well as several recent state-of-the-art algorithms. Computational results show that the proposed ABC-SA outperforms other ABC variants and is superior to state-of-the-art algorithms proposed in the literature.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMathematical & computational biologyNeurosciences & neurologyParticle swarm optimizerGlobal optimizationDifferential evolutionSearchEvolutionary algorithmsGlobal optimizationOptimizationProbabilityArtificial bee colony algorithmsArtificial bee colony algorithms (ABC)Benchmark functionsComputational resultsForaging behaviorsGlobal optimization problemsIntensification and diversificationsState-of-the-art algorithmsAlgorithmsAlgorithmsAnimalsArtificial intelligenceBeesComputer simulationCrowdingProbabilitySocial behaviorArticle0003682771000012-s2.0-84954427990201626819591Mathematical & computational biologyNeurosciencesBees; Exploration and Exploitation; ColoniesAlgorithmAnimalArtificial intelligenceBeeComputer simulationCrowding (area)PhysiologyProbabilitySocial behavior
