In nature, all living organisms such as insects, animals, humans and so on have different habits and behaviours. Based on organism habit and living behaviours, various nature-inspired algorithms have been proposed. Elephant herding optimisation algorithm (EHO) is one of nature’s inspired and swarm-based metaheuristic search techniques. The Elephant Herding Optimization algorithm derives from the modelling of actual elephant herding behaviours in nature. Elephant Herding Optimization algorithm is used to find optimal solution for the complex problems in biomedical signal processing and control system.

The Elephant Herding Behaviour


The Elephants are the largest existing terrestrial mammals. The elephant lives in social groups in nature. The female elephant is the matriarch of the group. The structure of these groups often consists of several clans, and each clan lives under the leadership of a female elephant (matriarch). Whereas, each clan has fixed number of male elephant and female elephant. Moreover, male adult elephants always wish to live independently and they will depart from the clans when they grow up.

Elephant Herding Optimization Algorithm


The Elephant Herding Optimization (EHO) approach was inspired by the group’s herding behaviour of elephants (Wang, Deb, & Coelho, 2015). Elephant Herding Optimization (EHO) algorithm is a new type of swarm-based metaheuristic search method, is implemented to solve optimization problems. Based on two scenarios the Elephant Herding Optimization Algorithm has been designed. 1. The Matriarch, the female elephant, leads the group that has different elephant clans. The matriarch is the oldest female elephant in each elephant family. The matriarch is considered the most suitable elephant in the family to model and solve optimization issues.  2. The second scenario is, Once the male elephant becomes adults, it leaves the group. On the basis of these two elephant behaviours, two subsequent operators have evolved using an EHO algorithm, such as the clan updating operator and the separating operator.

1.Clan updating operators

Elephants from different clans live together under the leadership of a matriarch. There are a fixed number of elephants in each clan. We presume that each clan is made up of an equivalent, unchangeable number of elephants for modelling purposes. The elephant’s positions in a clan were changed on the basis of their matriarch relationship. Clan Updating operator is used for this behaviour in EHO algorithm

2.Separating operator

A male elephant leaves the family group and lives separately once it has become mature. Let’s presume that during each new generation, adult male elephant will be separated from the clan group. Therefore, In the EHO model algorithm, the updating process is a separating operator.

Conclusion


Elephant Herding Optimization (EHO) Algorithm is one of the nature-inspired metaheuristic optimization algorithms. EHO is based on the social herding behavior of the elephants and swam search techniques. Elephant Herding Optimization (EHO) Algorithm is used to solve large scale optimization problem in biomedical signal processing and control system.
