An improved population migration algorithm introducing the local search mechanism of the leap-frog algorithm and crossover operator.

The population migration algorithm (PMA) is a simulation of a population of the intelligent algorithm. Given the prematurity and low precision of PMA, this paper introduces a local search mechanism of the leap-frog algorithm and crossover operator to improve the PMA search speed and global convergen...
