Abstract

Although ACO has been proved to be an efficient and versatile tool for combinational optimization problems [1,2], it cannot deal with continuous optimization problems directly. Therefore, there are only a few studies on ACO [3] for continuous optimization. This paper presents a novel ACO algorithm (CACO-DE) for continuous optimization based on discrete encoding, which is quite different from other ant methods.
