Abstract: This article introduces Fuzzy Inspired Bat Algorithm (FIBA), which is an improved variant of the original Bat algorithm. The novelty of FIBA lies in the integration of a fuzzy controller with the basic Bat algorithm that tries to bring balance between the degree of explorations and exploitations during the mutation operation. Another novelty of FIBA is the introduction of a step size parameter, maintained separately for every candidate solution, to customize and control the mix of explorative and exploitative operations around each candidate solution. FIBA is tested on a standard benchmark set that includes 10 complex, scalable, high dimensional functions. The results on benchmark functions reveal that FIBA can perform sufficiently well, and often better than the original Bat algorithm and another recently proposed improved Bat variant. Such improvements on the experimental results imply that the fuzzy technique adopted by FIBA might be effective on other existing problems as well, and hence demand further research and investigation.
