Abstract
A rising meta-heuristic swarm intelligent computation algorithm, the Whale optimization Algorithm (WOA), which has been proved competitive with other intelligent optimization algorithms in solving different optimization problems. To accelerate the convergence rate of WOA, this paper has proposed a new improved whale optimization algorithm, called Chaos Regulation Whale optimization Algorithm (CRWOA). The chaotic map generator composed with three kinds of chaotic maps has been used to initialize the population. Furthermore, Cauchy distribution and Gauss distribution are introduced to regulate the position in each iteration. To analyze the superiority of CRWOA further, ten single-objective benchmark test functions are chosen. Through the comparison and analysis of the optimal results, CRWOA is demonstrated superior in general. It has faster convergence speed and better results than the other algorithms when less iteration number, less population quantity and wider ranges of variables are set.
