Abstract:The water flow optimizer (WFO) is the latest swarm intelligence algorithm inspired by the shape of water flow. Its advantages of simplicity, efficiency, and robust performance have motivated us to further enhance it. In this paper, we introduce fractional-order (FO) technology with memory properties into the WFO, called fractional-order water flow optimizer (FOWFO). To verify the superior performance and practicality of FOWFO, we conducted comparisons with nine state-of-the-art algorithms on benchmark function… Show more
