Improved political optimizer for complex landscapes and engineering optimization problems

作者：

Highlights：

• Improved variant of PO by making algorithmic and parametric changes is proposed.

• IPO enhances exploration capability and balance of PO.

• Performance evaluated on CEC-2014, CEC-BC-2017, and mechanical engineering problems.

• Performance is compared with 25 meta-heuristics.
