    Abstract

    Biogeography-based optimization (BBO) is a new evolutionary algorithm based on the science of biogeography. We propose two extensions to BBO. First, we propose blended migration. Second, we modify BBO to solve constrained optimization problems. The constrained BBO algorithm is compared with solutions based on a genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO). Numerical results indicate that BBO generally performs better than GA and PSO in handling constrained single-objective optimization problems.
