Abstract:Harmony search algorithm is a new meta-heuristic optimization method imitating the music improvisation process where musicians improvise their instruments’ pitches searching for a perfect state of harmony. To enable the harmony search algorithm to transcend its limited capability of local optimum, a modified harmony search algorithm is proposed in this paper. In the modified harmony search algorithm, the mutation operation of differential evolution algorithm is introduced into MHS algorithm, which improves its… Show more
