Abstract:Harmony search (HS) algorithm is a good meta-heuristic intelligent optimization method and it does depend on imitating the music improvisation process to generate a perfect state of harmony. However, intelligent optimization methods is easily trapped into local optimal, HS is no exception. In order to improve the performance of HS, a new variant of harmony search algorithm is proposed in this paper. The variant introduce a new crossover operation into HS, and design a strategy to adjust parameter pitch adjusti… Show more
