COMBINING GREY WOLF OPTIMIZATION AND WHALE OPTIMIZATION ALGORITHM FOR BENCHMARK TEST FUNCTIONS

Abstract

Many optimization problems have been successfully addressed using metaheuristic approaches. These approaches are frequently able to choose the best answer fast and effectively. Recently, the use of swarm-based optimization algorithms, a kind of metaheuristic approach, has become more common. In this study, a hybrid swarm-based optimization method called WOAGWO is proposed by combining the Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) and Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO). This method aims to realize a more effective hybrid algorithm by using the positive aspects of the two algorithms. 23 benchmark test functions were utilized to assess the WOAGWO. By running the proposed approach 30 times, the mean fitness and standard deviation values were computed. These results were compared to WOA, GWO, Ant Lion Optimization algorithm (ALO), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), and Improved ALO (IALO) in the literature. The WOAGWO algorithm, when compared to these algorithms in the literature, produced the optimal results in 5 of 7 unimodal benchmark functions, 4 of 6 multimodal benchmark functions, and 9 of 10 fixed-dimension multimodal benchmark functions. Therefore, the suggested approach generally outperforms the findings in the literature. The proposed WOAGWO seems to be promising and it has a wide range of uses.
