New MMAO framework uses metabolic controller for adaptive metaheuristic search

Researchers have introduced the Metabolic Multi-Agent Optimizer (MMAO), a novel adaptive metaheuristic framework designed for efficient search processes. MMAO operates on the principle of endogenous resource circulation, where search intensity and exploration-exploitation balance are managed by a central metabolic controller. The framework is characterized by bounded private energy, a communal budget, normalized rewards, continuous role adaptation, and resource-financed branching and pruning. Evaluations across continuous and discrete domains, including TSP instances and benchmark functions, demonstrate MMAO's adaptability and stability, even with a compact design, though continuous refinement quality is impacted by its lean architecture.

    Minimal MMAO: A Resource-Closed-Loop Framework for Adaptive Metaheuristic Search

    This paper presents the Metabolic Multi-Agent Optimizer (MMAO) as an adaptive metaheuristic built around endogenous resource circulation. The central premise is that search intensity, exploration--exploitation balance, and lifecycle turnover should be induced by a shared metaboli…
