Abstract
This paper presents a modified harmony search (MHS) algorithm for solving numerical optimization problems. MHS employs a novel self-learning strategy for generating new solution vectors that enhances accuracy and convergence rate of harmony search (HS) algorithm. In the proposed MHS algorithm, the harmony memory consideration rate (HMCR) is dynamically adapted to the changing of objective function value in the current harmony memory. The other two key parameters PAR and bw adjust dynamically with generation number. Based on a large number of experiments, MHS has demonstrated stronger convergence and stability than original harmony search (HS) algorithm and its two improved algorithms (IHS and GHS).
