Heap-based optimizer inspired by corporate rank hierarchy for global optimization

作者:

Highlights:

• Heap-based optimizer (HBO) inspired by corporate rank hierarchy (CRH) is proposed.

• HBO utilizes heap to map the hierarchy and model equations for 3 CRH activities.

• A parameter (γ) to escape local optima without lacking exploitation is introduced.

• Exploration and exploitation are balanced through self-adaptive parameters.

• Performance is evaluated on 97 benchmarks and 3 mechanical engineering problems.
