A Cooperative Harmony Search Algorithm for Function Optimization

Harmony search algorithm (HS) is a new metaheuristic algorithm which is inspired by a process involving musical improvisation. HS is a stochastic optimization technique that is similar to genetic algorithms (GAs) and particle swarm optimizers (PSOs). It has been widely applied in order to solve many...
