VARIANCE-BASED HARMONY SEARCH ALGORITHM FOR UNIMODAL AND MULTIMODAL OPTIMIZATION PROBLEMS WITH APPLICATION TO CLUSTERING

This article presents a novel variance-based harmony search algorithm (VHS) for solving optimization problems. VHS incorporates the concepts borrowed from the invasive weed optimization technique to improve the performance of the harmony search algorithm (HS). This eliminates the main problem of con...
