It performs well in most cases, however, there still exists an insufficiency in the ABC algorithm that ignores the fitness of related pairs of individuals in the mechanism of find- ing a neighboring food source. This paper presents an improved ABC algorithm with mutual learning （MutualABC） that adjusts the produced candidate food source with the higher fitness between two individuals selected by a mutual learning factor. The perfor- mance of the improved MutualABC algorithm is tested on a set of benchmark functions and compared with the basic ABC algo- rithm and some classical versions of improved ABC algorithms. The experimental results show that the MutualABC algorithm with appropriate parameters outperforms other ABC algorithms in most experiments.展开更多
