In order to overcome prematurity of ant colony algorithm, the conception of belief space originated in cultural algorithm is introduced, and a new cultural ant algorithm is proposed for continuous optimization problems. Firstly, the coding scheme for ant colony algorithm to solve continuous optimization problems is discussed. Then belief space is brought in, and designed as the form of two part...
