Abstract

In this paper, a new swarm intelligence optimization algorithm named Tumbleweed Algorithm (TA) is proposed. The TA algorithm simulates the two processes of tumbleweed from seedling to adulthood and the propagation of tumbleweed seeds after adulthood. And by introducing the concept of growth cycle, the two stages are combined. In order to verify the effectiveness of the new algorithm proposed to solve the problems, this paper uses the CEC2013 function set to test, and compares the 10D, 30D and 50D dimensions with six swarm intelligence optimization algorithms. By comparing the experimental results under different dimensions, the TA algorithm proposed in this paper is generally superior to other intelligent optimization algorithms compared, and has strong optimization ability and competitiveness. Finally, the TA algorithm is applied to the location problem of logistics distribution center to verify the practicability of the algorithm. In solving this problem, the TA algorithm can also obtain better optimization results.
