To resolve the problem that the whale optimization algorithm (WOA) is easy to fall into local optimum and low precision
an enhanced whale optimization algorithm (EWOA) is proposed. Firstly
the adaptive strategy was introduced into the whales position to balance the global exploration and local exploitation capabilities of the algorithm
speed up the convergence of the algorithm
and improve the optimization accuracy of the algorithm. Then
to avoid the algorithm falling into local optimum and prevent premature convergence
the idea of differential mutation was introduced to mutate the better whales position. Finally
the experimental results on nine test functions under fixed parameters and different dimensions show that the improved algorithm has significantly improved search precision and convergence speed compared with the traditional WOA. Especially in the optimization problem of high-dimensional functions
the improved algorithm shows better convergence performance than the traditional WOA and its variants.
