Novel distance-fitness learning scheme for ameliorating metaheuristic optimization by Emre Çelik, Essam H. Houssein, Mahmoud Abdel-Salam, Diego Oliva, Ghanshyam G. Tejani, Nihat Öztürk, Sunil Kumar Sharma, Mohammed Baljon

“…This way, it aims at approaching both the fittest solution and ODF candidate while at the same time moving away from the worst solution. The effectiveness of our proposal is evaluated by integrating it with the reptile search algorithm (RSA), which is an interesting algorithm that is simple to code but suffers from stagnating in local minima, converging too early, and a lack of sufficient global searchability. …”
