Abstract
AbstractWhale Optimization Algorithm (WOA), as a newly proposed swarm-based algorithm, has gradually become a popular approach for optimization problems in various engineering fields. However, WOA suffers from the poor balance of exploration and exploitation, and premature convergence. In this paper, a new enhanced WOA (EWOA), which adopts an improved dynamic opposite learning (IDOL) and an adaptive encircling prey stage, is proposed to overcome the problems. IDOL plays an important role in the initialization part and the algorithm iterative process of EWOA. By evaluating the optimal solution in the current population, IDOL can adaptively switch exploitation/exploration modes constructed by the DOL strategy and a modified search strategy, respectively. On the other hand, for the encircling prey stage of EWOA in the latter part of the iteration, an adaptive inertia weight strategy is introduced into this stage to adaptively adjust the prey’s position to avoid falling into local optima. Numerical experiments, with unimodal, multimodal, hybrid and composition benchmarks, and three typical engineering problems are utilized to evaluate the performance of EWOA. The proposed EWOA also evaluates against canonical WOA, three sub-variants of EWOA, three other common algorithms, three advanced algorithms and four advanced variants of WOA. Results indicate that according to Wilcoxon rank sum test and Friedman test, EWOA has balanced exploration and exploitation ability in coping with global optimization, and it has obvious advantages when compared with other state-of-the-art algorithms.
