An improved grey wolf optimizer for solving engineering problems

作者:

Highlights:

• Proposing an improved Grey Wolf Optimizer (I-GWO) for solving engineering problems.

• Introducing a new search strategy named dimension learning-based hunting (DLH).

• DLH is to enhance balance between local and global search and maintain diversity.

• Performance of I-GWO is evaluated on the CEC2018 and three engineering problems.

• I-GWO algorithm is very competitive and superior to the compared algorithms.
