An Improved Moth-Flame Optimization algorithm with hybrid search phase

作者:

Highlights:

• Definition of a hybrid phase to achieve a good trade-off between exploration and exploitation phases.

• Introduction of a dynamic crossover mechanism for reproducing flames to enhance the population diversity.

• Definition of fitness depended weight factor for moths positions calculations to improve the exploitation phase.
