A player unknown's battlegrounds (PUBG) ranking based optimization (PRBO) algorithm is
proposed. It is based on the ranking scheme of a popular battle royale game PUBG where …

This paper presents backtracking search algorithm (BSA) for solving economic dispatch
(ED) problems with considering valve-point loading effects, prohibited operating zones, and …

Owing to no free lunch theorem, meta-heuristic search algorithms, behaviour and
performance are different for solving specific class of optimization problems than another …

In this paper, a clustering cuckoo search optimization (CCSO) is proposed. Different from the
randomly generated step size in CSO, the step size in CCSO is generated by a clustering …

The economic load dispatch (ELD) problems considering nonlinear characteristics such as
valve point effects (VPE), multiple fuels (MF), transmission network losses, ramp rate limits …

This paper presents an improved differential evolution (IDE) algorithm for economic load
dispatch (ELD) problems with or without valve-point effects (VPE). The proposed IDE is …

A hybrid artificial algae algorithm (HAAA) has been proposed in this paper that hybridizes
the artificial algae algorithm (AAA) and simplex search method (SSM) to solve economic …

Traditionally, the Economic Dispatch Model (EDM) integrating Combined Heat and Power
(CHP) units aims to reduce fuel costs by managing power-only, CHP, and heat-only units …

This study proposes an improved version of the Symbiotic Organisms Search (SOS)
algorithm called Quasi-Oppositional Chaotic Symbiotic Organisms Search (QOCSOS). This …
