Aiming at the shortcoming of salp swarm optimization algorithm such as low accuracy, slow convergence speed and easy to fall into local optimum, this paper proposed an adaptive t-distribution and dynamic weight salp swarm optimization algorithm. Firstly, the leader position update introduced the global search stage formula of butterfly optimization algorithm to enhance the global exploration ability. Secondly, the follower location update introduced an adaptive dynamic weighting factor to strengthen the guiding role of elite individuals, so as to enhance the local development ability. Finally, the adaptive t-distribution mutation strategy mutated the optimal individual in order to avoid the algorithm falling into local optimum. By solving 12 benchmark test functions, and according to comparison results of the mean value, standard deviation, solving success rate, Wilcoxon test and convergence curve, the proposed algorithm was superior to standard salp swarm algorithm, the compared other improved salp swarm algorithm and the compared other swarm intelligence algorithms. The results also show that it has a significant improvement in the optimization accuracy and convergence speed, and has the ability to jump out of local optimum. The experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm by applying it to find the lowest point of denitrification inlet concentration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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.
