Comparative Study of Wolf Pack Algorithm and Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm: Performance Analysis and Optimization Exploration

Swarm intelligence optimization algorithms have been widely used in the fields of machine learning, process control and engineering prediction, among which common algorithms include ant colony algorithm (ACO), artificial bee colony algorithm (ABC) and particle swarm optimization (PSO). Wolf pack algorithm (WPA) as a newer swarm intelligence optimization algorithm has many similarities with ABC. In this paper, the basic principles, algorithm implementation processes, and related improvement strategies of these two algorithms were described in detail; A comparative analysis of their performance in solving different feature-based standard CEC test functions was conducted, with a focus on optimization ability and convergence speed, re-validating the unique characteristics of these two algorithms in searching. In the end, the future development trend and prospect of intelligent optimization algorithms was discussed, which is of great reference significance for the research and application of swarm intelligence optimization algorithms.
