The harmony search (HS) algorithm is a relatively new population-based metaheuristic
optimization algorithm. It imitates the music improvisation process where musicians …

This paper presents a self-adaptive global best harmony search (SGHS) algorithm for
solving continuous optimization problems. In the proposed SGHS algorithm, a new …

The optimal design of water distribution networks is a non-linear, multi-modal, and
constrained problem classified as an NP-hard combinatorial problem. Because of the …

Calculus has widespread applications in science and engineering. Optimization is one of its
major subjects, where a problem can be mathematically formulated and its optimal solution …
