Abstract

Water wave optimization (WWO) is a new nature-inspired metaheuristic by mimicking shallow water wave motions including propagation, refraction, and breaking. In this paper we present a variation of WWO, named VC-WWO, which adopts a variable population size to accelerate the search process, and develops a comprehensive learning mechanism in the refraction operator to make stationary waves learn from more exemplars to increase the solution diversity, and thus provides a much better tradeoff between exploration and exploitation. Experimental results show that the overall performance of VC-WWO is better than the original WWO and other comparative algorithms on the CEC 2015 single-objective optimization test problems, which validates the effectiveness of the two new strategies proposed in the paper.
