A Learning Sparrow Search Algorithm

This paper solves the drawbacks of traditional intelligent optimization algorithms relying on 0 and has good results on CEC 2017 and benchmark functions, which effectively improve the problem of algorithms falling into local optimality. The sparrow search algorithm (SSA) has significant optimization performance, but still has the problem of large randomness and is easy to fall into the local optimum. For this reason, this paper proposes a learning sparrow search algorithm, which introduces the lens reverse learning strategy in the discoverer stage. The random reverse learning strategy increases the diversity of the population and makes the search method more flexible. In the follower stage, an improved sine and cosine guidance mechanism is introduced to make the search method of the discoverer more detailed. Finally, a differential-based local search is proposed. The strategy is used to update the optimal solution obtained each time to prevent the omission of high-quality solutions in the search process. LSSA is compared with CSSA, ISSA, SSA, BSO, GWO, and PSO in 12 benchmark functions to verify the feasibility of the algorithm. Furthermore, to further verify the effectiveness and practicability of the algorithm, LSSA is compared with MSSCS, CSsin, and FA-CL in CEC 2017 test function. The simulation results show that LSSA has good universality. Finally, the practicability of LSSA is verified by robot path planning, and LSSA has good stability and safety in path planning.
