Abstract
En 中文
To overcome the shortcomings of the Arithmetic Optimization Algorithm (AOA) in solution accuracy and convergence speed, this paper proposes an improved approach based on reinforcement Q-learning and Random Elite Pool strategy (QL-REP-AOA). The algorithm constructs a state space based on the iteration process and designs a nonlinear reward function with stage adaptability. With this design, the algorithm can dynamically select the optimal search strategy based on the characteristics of each stage of the optimization problem. Additionally, the Random Elite Pool strategy is introduced, which enhances population diversity and search efficiency through the collaborative effect of multiple search operators. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, experiments are conducted on 27 classical benchmark functions, the CEC2020 test set, and real-world engineering problems. The experimental results show that QL-REP-AOA outperforms other optimization algorithms in both accuracy and convergence speed, demonstrating its potential in solving complex optimization problems.
