Modified multi-verse optimiser used for global optimisation

: In this paper, modified version of multi-verse optimiser (MVO) was suggested and tested on numerical optimisation problems. MVO is an innovative optimisation approach which stimulated from the concepts of cosmology; they are named as white hole, black hole and wormhole. Mathematical modelling of this concept has been carried out to acquire exploitation, exploration and local search. Modification in MVO has been made by introducing concept of dynamic variation in population size (universe). Modified multi-verse optimiser (MMVO) was tested on 16 benchmark functions having different complexity. Statistical comparisons of other algorithms outcomes is depicted that MMVO performs better than other algorithms.
