Improving Moth-Flame Optimization Algorithm by using Slime-Mould Algorithm
Main Article Content
Abstract
The MFO algorithm is one of the modern optimization algorithms based on swarm intelligence, and the SMA algorithm is also one of the latest algorithms in the same field and has the advantages of fast convergence, high convergence accuracy, robust and robust. In this research paper, we introduce an optimized algorithm for MFO based on the SMA algorithm to get better performance using the features in the two algorithms, and two different algorithms are proposed in this field. The two predicted new algorithms were tested with standard test functions and the results were encouraging compared to the standard algorithms.
