We prove that if several such algorithms compete in the same problem domain, the strategy they use is a special type of evolutionarily stable strategy. Moreover, for a single or multiple hives we prove that an ideal free distribution is achieved, and that the allocation strategy is globally optimal. In the companion paper [Quijano, N., et al., 2007] we illustrate the practical utility of these results via a multizone temperature control experiment.enForagingResource allocationComputer scienceAlgorithmIdeal (ethics)Mathematical optimizationResource distributionArtificial bee colony algorithmDomain (mathematical analysis)Class (philosophy)Honey Bee Social Foraging Algorithms for Resource Allocation, Part I: Algorithm and Theoryarticle
