This study introduces the Phasmatodea population evolution algorithm (PPE) which imitates the evolution characteristics of the stick insect population in nature. Testing shows that the algorithm outperforms similar approaches in solving optimization problems.
This work proposes a population evolution algorithm to deal with optimization problems based on the evolution characteristics of the Phasmatodea (stick insect) population, called the Phasmatodea population evolution algorithm (PPE). The PPE imitates the characteristics of convergent evolution, path dependence, population growth and competition in the evolution of the stick insect population in nature. The stick insect population tends to be the nearest dominant population in the evolution process, and the favorable evolution trend is more likely to be inherited by the next generation. This work combines population growth and competition models to achieve the above process. The implemented PPE has been tested and analyzed on 30 benchmark functions, and it has better performance than similar algorithms. This work uses several engineering optimization problems to test the algorithm and obtains good results.
