Abstract
With the increasing complexity and difficulty of numerical optimization problems in the real world, many efficient meta-heuristic optimization methods have been proposed to solve these problems. An improved Fireworks Algorithm (FWA) with elitism-based selection and optimal particle guidance strategies (EO-FWA) was proposed to address the limitations of the traditional FWA in terms of optimization accuracy and convergence speed, which not only improves the efficiency of the searching agent but also accelerates its convergence speed. In addition, by adopting boundary-based mapping rules, EO-FWA eliminates the randomness of traditional modulo operation mapping rules, which improves its stability and reliability. Twelve benchmark functions in CEC-BC-2022 are used to test the performance of EO-FWA, and the welded beam design problem is optimized at the end. The results show that EO-FWA exhibits stronger competitiveness than other algorithms in dealing with high-dimensional optimization problems and engineering optimization problem, and it can balance exploitation and exploration effectively so as to prevent the algorithm from falling into local optimal solutions.
