Abstract
Many real-world problems demand optimization, minimization of costs and maximization of profits, and meta-heuristic algorithms have proficiently proved their ability to achieve optimum results. This study proposes an alternative algorithm of Lévy Flight Distribution (LFD) by integrating Opposition-based learning (OBL) operator, termed LFD-OBL, for resolving intrinsic drawbacks of the canonical LFD. The proposed approach adopts OBL operator for catering search stagnancy to ensure faster convergence rate. We validate the usefulness of our approach through IEEE CEC’20 test suite, and compare results with original LFD and several other counterparts such as Moth-flame optimization, whale optimization algorithm, grasshopper optimisation algorithm, thermal exchange optimization, sine-cosine algorithm, artificial ecosystem-based optimization, Henry gas solubility optimization, and Harris’ hawks optimization. To further validate the efficiency of LFD-OBL, we apply it on parameters optimization of Solar Cell based on the Three-Diode Photovoltaic model. The qualitative and quantitative results of all the experiments performed in this study suggest superiority of the proposed method.
