Enhanced Barnacle Mating optimization algorithm (EBMO)

Enhanced Barnacle Mating optimization algorithm (EBMO) source code in MATLAB

enhanced Barnacle Mating optimiza- tion algorithm (EBMO) for obtaining appropriate threshold values by maximising the fitness function. The enhancement over basic Barnacle mating optimization is achieved by incorpo- rating an additional Gaussian mutation strategy and a random flow towards the best solution steps with the original algorithm. The involvement of these additional steps helps the algo- rithm to prevent it to be stagnated at a local minimum by boosting its exploration capability.
