Abstract

Grey wolf optimization (GWO) algorithm is a novel nature-inspired heuristic paradigm. GWO was inspired by grey wolves, which mimics the leadership hierarchy and hunting mechanism of grey wolves in nature. It has exhibited promising performance in many fields. However, GWO algorithm has the drawback of slow convergence and low precision. In order to overcome this drawback, we propose an improved version of GWO enhanced by the Levy-flight strategy, termed as LGWO. Levy-flight strategy was introduced into the GWO to find better solutions when the grey wolves fall into the local optimums. The effectiveness of LGWO has been rigorously evaluated against ten benchmark functions. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms the other three counterparts.
