A Novel Exploration Stage Approach to Improve Crayfish Optimization Algorithm: Solution to Real-World Engineering Design Problems by Harun Gezici

“…In order to compensate these shortcomings, this study proposes an Improved Crayfish Optimization Algorithm (ICOA) that designs the competition stage with three modifications: (1) adaptive step length mechanism inversely proportional to the number of iterations, which enables exploration in early iterations and exploitation in later stages, (2) vector mapping that increases stochastic behavior and improves efficiency in high-dimensional spaces, (3) removing the X_shade parameter in order to abstain from early convergence. …”
