Aiming at the shortcomings of aquila optimization algorithm（AO）, this paper proposed an aquila optimization algorithm using hybrid search strategy. Firstly, the algorithm introduced dynamic adjustment function to balance global exploration and local exploitation; Secondly, it introduced chaotic adaptive weights to enhance the global search capability of the algorithm and accelerate the convergence speed of the algorithm; Thirdly, it introduced a new individual mutation probability coefficient and an improved differential mutation strategy, and used individuals with better fitness values to lead other individuals in the population to carry out search activities, which maintained the diversity of the population and enhanced the ability of the algorithm to jump out of the local optimum. Through the numerical experiment simulation of 8 benchmark test functions, 10 CEC2019 test functions and 1 engineering application problem, The experimental results show that the algorithm has a significant improvement in global convergence speed and optimization accuracy, and has a better ability to jump out of the local optimum.

Aiming at the problem that the WOA was easy to fall into local optimum and low convergence precision, this paper proposed an improved whale optimization algorithm (IWOA). The algorithm initialized the population by quasi-reverse learning methods and improved the diversity of the population. Then the algorithm modified the linear convergence factor to a nonlinear convergence factor, which was beneficial to balance the global search ability and local development ability. In addition, the algorithm improved the local search ability of the whale optimization algorithm by increasing the adaptive weight and imp roved convergence precision. Finally, the algorithm adjusted the whale optimization algorithm in time by a random differential mutation strategy to avoid falling into the local optimum. It selected nine benchmark functions in the experiment, and iterated all the algorithms 30 times. The improved whale optimization algorithm compared to the original whale optimization algorithm and five improved whale optimization algorithms, the results show that the mean and standard deviation of the algorithm are better than other algorithms, the convergence curve of the algorithm is also superior to most other algorithms. It shows that the imp roved whale optimization algorithm has the best convergence accuracy and algorithm stability, and the convergence speed is significantly faster than most other improved whale optimization algorithms.
