Research and Analysis of a Novel Heuristic Algorithm: Five-elements Cycle Optimization Algorithm

The five-elements cycle optimization algorithm (FECO) for continuous optimization problems is researched and analyzed in this paper. It is inspired by the theory of Five-elements which represents the performance of a dynamic balancing system. Firstly, the five-elements cycle model based on the mechanism of generation and restriction among five elements is analyzed. Afterwards, FECO is built for finding the optimal solution of continuous functions by designing the framework of element space and the pivotal operators. The performance and parameter comparison of FECO is given by experiment, the comparison with 17 optimization algorithms based on various mechanisms for two sets of benchmark functions is also given, which indicates the feasibility and universality of FECO.
