Lesson plan
Grey Wolf Optimization
Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) is a nature-inspired metaheuristic algorithm that mimics the leadership hierarchy and hunting behavior of grey wolves in the wild. It was introduced by Seyedali Mirjalili in 2014 as a swarm intelligence-based technique for solving optimization problems. The algorithm is designed based on the social dominance structure of grey wolves, where the pack is led by an alpha, followed by beta and delta wolves, while omegas hold the lowest rank. This leadership hierarchy plays a crucial role in guiding the search for optimal solutions by balancing exploration and exploitation. The alpha wolves guide the hunt, while the beta and delta wolves assist in refining the movement and decision-making process. In GWO, optimization is performed through three main steps: encircling prey, hunting, and attacking or diverging towards new solutions. Encircling is the process where wolves adjust their positions relative to the best solutions found so far. Hunting involves the collective effort of alpha, beta, and delta wolves, which estimate the prey’s location and guide the pack toward optimal solutions. Finally, the attack phase focuses on intensifying the search by reducing the distance between wolves and the best-known solution, ensuring convergence.…
