    Abstract Hybridizing metaheuristic algorithms involves synergistically combining different optimization techniques to effectively address complex and challenging optimization problems. This approach aims to leverage the strengths of multiple algorithms, enhancing solution quality, convergence speed, and robustness, thereby offering a more versatile and efficient means of solving intricate real-world optimization tasks. In this paper, we introduce a hybrid algorithm that amalgamates three distinct metaheuristics: the Beluga Whale Optimization (BWO), the Honey Badger Algorithm (HBA), and the Jellyfish Search (JS) optimizer. The proposed hybrid algorithm will be referred to as BHJO. Through this fusion, the BHJO algorithm aims to… More >

    Path-Based Clustering Algorithm with High Scalability Using the Combined Behavior of Evolutionary Algorithms

    Leila Safari-Monjeghtapeh1, Mansour Esmaeilpour2,*

    Computer Systems Science and Engineering, Vol.48, No.3, pp. 705-721, 2024, DOI:10.32604/csse.2024.044892

    Abstract Path-based clustering algorithms typically generate clusters by optimizing a benchmark function. Most optimization methods in clustering algorithms often offer solutions close to the general optimal value. This study achieves the global optimum value for the criterion function in a shorter time using the minimax distance, Maximum Spanning Tree “MST”, and meta-heuristic algorithms, including Genetic Algorithm “GA” and Particle Swarm Optimization “PSO”. The Fast Path-based Clustering “FPC” algorithm proposed in this paper can find cluster centers correctly in most datasets and quickly perform clustering operations. The FPC does this operation using MST, the minimax distance, and… More >

    An Improved Whale Optimization Algorithm for Global Optimization and Realized Volatility Prediction

    Xiang Wang1, Liangsa Wang2,*, Han Li1, Yibin Guo1

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.77, No.3, pp. 2935-2969, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.044948

    Abstract The original whale optimization algorithm (WOA) has a low initial population quality and tends to converge to local optimal solutions. To address these challenges, this paper introduces an improved whale optimization algorithm called OLCHWOA, incorporating a chaos mechanism and an opposition-based learning strategy. This algorithm introduces chaotic initialization and opposition-based initialization operators during the population initialization phase, thereby enhancing the quality of the initial whale population. Additionally, including an elite opposition-based learning operator significantly improves the algorithm’s global search capabilities during iterations. The work and contributions of this paper are primarily reflected in two aspects.… More >

    Abstract Many complex optimization problems in the real world can easily fall into local optimality and fail to find the optimal solution, so more new techniques and methods are needed to solve such challenges. Metaheuristic algorithms have received a lot of attention in recent years because of their efficient performance and simple structure. Sine Cosine Algorithm (SCA) is a recent Metaheuristic algorithm that is based on two trigonometric functions Sine & Cosine.

    Yaning Xiao, Xue Sun*, Yanling Guo, Sanping Li, Yapeng Zhang, Yangwei Wang

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.131, No.2, pp. 815-850, 2022, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2022.019198

    Abstract Gorilla troops optimizer (GTO) is a newly developed meta-heuristic algorithm, which is inspired by the collective lifestyle and social intelligence of gorillas. Similar to other metaheuristics, the convergence accuracy and stability of GTO will deteriorate when the optimization problems to be solved become more complex and flexible. To overcome these defects and achieve better performance, this paper proposes an improved gorilla troops optimizer (IGTO). First, Circle chaotic mapping is introduced to initialize the positions of gorillas, which facilitates the population diversity and establishes a good foundation for global search.
