Hybrid Artificial Algae Algorithm for global optimization

In this paper a new Hybrid Artificial Algae Algorithm (HAAA) is presented. This algorithm is developed by hybridizing artificial algae algorithm and simplex search method. To check the validity of HAAA, seven Unimodal and five multimodal benchmark functions taken from cec'05 is test. The proposed HAAA is also applied to solve 40 generator economic load dispatch problem to check its real world problem solving capability. The results obtained by HAAA shows that it is a robust algorithm and may be an efficient optimizer for many other real world optimization problems.
