Grey wolf optimizer with cellular topological structure

作者：

Highlights：

• The cellular automata concept is embedded into the GWO.

• CGWO with a topological structure can help to improve diversity of population.

• The proposed CGWO can solve multimodal problems well.

• The CGWO outperforms the other state-of-the-art algorithms on function and engineering problems.
