This paper presents a hybrid optimization algorithm, referred to as hybrid spiral dynamics
bacterial chemotaxis (HSDBC) algorithm. HSDBC synergizes bacterial foraging algorithm
(BFA) chemotaxis strategy and spiral dynamics algorithm (SDA). The original BFA has
higher convergence speed while SDA has better accuracy and stable convergence when
approaching the optimum value. This hybrid approach preserves the strengths of BFA and
SDA and thus has the capability of producing better results. Moreover, it has simple …

This paper presents a hybrid optimization algorithm referred to as Hybrid spiral dynamics
bacterial foraging (HSDBF). The algorithm synergizes spiral adaptive simplified bacterial
foraging algorithm (BFA) and spiral dynamics inspired optimization algorithm (SDA). The
standard BFA has better exploitation strategy while SDA has superior exploration approach
and stable convergence when approaching the optimum value. The hybrid algorithm
preserves the strengths of BFA and SDA, thus producing better results. Moreover, it has …
