Abstract: Chemical Reaction Optimization（CRO） is a recently proposed population-based meta-heuristic, and Real-Coded CRO（RCCRO） is a variant of CRO, as the deficiency of the algorithm, a new Real-Valued CRO（RVCRO）algorithm is formulated and proposed for solving global numerical optimization problems. The new algorithm reformulates the framework and searching paradigm of conventional CRO. It also reduces the number of control parameters from eight to five. Then a set of commonly used benchmark functions is applied to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, and the comparison results indicate that the proposed algorithm can generate superior performance than the RCCRO, in terms of the final error value and convergence speed.
