Abstract

En 中文
Over the last decade, we have encountered various complex optimization problems in the engineering and research domains. Some of them are so hard that we had to turn to heuristic algorithms to obtain approximate optimal solutions. In this paper, we present a novel metaheuristic algorithm called mussels wandering optimization (MWO). MWO is inspired by mussels' leisurely locomotion behavior when they form bed patterns in their habitat. It is an ecologically inspired optimization algorithm that mathematically formulates a landscape-level evolutionary mechanism of the distribution pattern of mussels through a stochastic decision and L,vy walk. We obtain the optimal shape parameter mu of the movement strategy and demonstrate its convergence performance via eight benchmark functions. The MWO algorithm has competitive performance compared with four existing metaheuristics, providing a new approach for solving complex optimization problems.
