Grey wolf algorithm(GWO) is a classic swarm intelligence algorithm, but it has the disadvantages of slow convergence speed and easy to fall into local optimum on some problems. Therefore, an improved grey wolf optimization algorithm(IGWO) is proposed. The lion optimizer algorithm and dynamic weights are integrated into the original grey wolf optimization algorithm. When the positions of α wolf, β wolf, and δ wolf are updated, the lion optimizer algorithm is used to add disturbance factors to the wolves to give α wolf, β wolf, and δ wolf active search capabilities. Dynamic weights are added to the grey wolf position update to prevent wolves from losing diversity and falling into local optimum. Through multiple benchmark function test experiments and path planning experiments, the experimental results show that the improved grey wolf optimization algorithm can effectively improve the accuracy and convergence speed, and the optimization effect is better.
A novel nature-inspired swarm intelligence (SI) optimization is proposed called dolphin swarm optimization algorithm (DSOA), which is based on mimicking the mechanism of dolphins in detecting, chasing after, and preying on swarms of sardines to perform optimization. In order to test the performance, the DSOA is evaluated against the corresponding results of three existing well-known SI optimization algorithms, namely, particle swarm optimization (PSO), bat algorithm (BA), and arti¯cial bee colony (ABC), in the terms of the ability to¯nd the global optimum of a range of the popular benchmark functions. The experimental results show that the proposed optimization seems superior to the other three algorithms, and the proposed algorithm has the performance of fast convergence rate, and high local optimal avoidance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
