Multi-Verse Optimizer (MVO)

MVO is a novel meta-heuristic algorithm for global optimization

You are now following this Submission

The main inspirations of the Multi-Verse Optimizer (MVO) are based on three concepts in cosmology: white hole, black hole, and wormhole. The mathematical models of these three concepts are developed to perform exploration, exploitation, and local search respectively.
