The harmony elements algorithm is proposed as a global searching technique of numerical computing which inspired by the old Chinese philosophy: Doctrine of Wu Xing, the five color theorem, and the Hoffman-Singleton graph. According to operation of overcoming and generating policy, each element in individuals altered extremely rapid during algorithm running period. The extreme rapid changing of individuals oriented by rule of deduction and generation, so the algorithm could made function quickly reach to the best solution. Inspired by five color theorem, we choose five elements 0s, 1s, 2s, 3s, and 4s consisting of each individual strings represent as candidate solutions. The algorithm method which generated from Hoffman-Singleton graph made whole algorithm could be globally covering every existing candidate solutions during algorithm running, so the algorithm would not be able to trap into local optimization value.
