Abstract
Optimization is one of the most interesting things in life. Metaheuristic is a method of optimization that tries to balance randomization and local search. Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) is a metaheuristic method that is inspired by the hunting behavior of humpback whales. WOA is very competitive compared to other metaheuristic algorithms, but WOA is easily trapped in a local optimum due to the use of encircling mechanism in its search space resulting in low performance. In this research, the WOA algorithm is combined with the BAT chaotic map multi-frequency (BCM) algorithm. This method is done by inserting the BCM algorithm in the WOA search phase. The experiment was carried out with 23 benchmarks test functions which were run 30 times continuously with the help of Matlab R2012a. The experimental results show that the WOABCM algorithm is able to outperform the WOA and WOABAT algorithms in most of the benchmark test functions. The increase of performance in the average of optimum value of WOABCM when compared to WOA is 2.27x10 ^ 3.
