An opposition-based harmony search algorithm for engineering optimization problems

Harmony search (HS) is a derivative-free real parameter optimization algorithm. It draws inspiration from the musical improvisation process of searching for a perfect state of harmony. The proposed opposition-based HS (OHS) of the present work employs opposition-based learning for harmony memory ini...
