“…Owing to its impressive advantages such as easy implementation, lesser adjustable parameters and quick convergence, the WOA has been successfully applied to diverse problems. For example, 0-1 knapsack problem [16], the permutation flow shop scheduling problem [17], clustering and classification [18], [19], optimal control problems [20], [21], Multi-objective optimization [22], [23], routing optimization [24], support vector machines and neural networks [25]- [27], Feature selection [28], economic load dispatch problems [29], image segmentation [30], fuzzy controller [31], and parameter estimation [32].…”
