This paper proposes a hybrid harmony search algorithm that incorporates method of reinitializing harmonies memory using particle swarm optimization with an improved opposition-based learning (IOBL) to solve continuous problems. allows the obtain better results by increasing space solutions. approach has been validated comparing performance proposed state-of-the-art algorithm, solving fifteen st...

Due to the fact that the error surface of adaptive infinite impulse response (IIR) systems is generally nonlinear and multimodal, the conventional derivative based techniques fail when used in adaptive identification of such systems. In this case, global optimization techniques are required in order to avoid the local minima. Harmony search (HS), a musical inspired metaheuristic, is a recently ...
