Optimization methods are widely used in various fields to find the best possible solution to a given problem through the minimization or maximization of an objective function while adhering to specific constraints. In this paper, we present a new optimization algorithm, called WOADD, which was designed to handle the challenges of constrained optimization problems that involve dependent data. Unlike traditional algorithms that struggle with data dependencies and valid range constraints, WOADD uses a unique normalization process and a dynamic updating mechanism that accurately considers the interdependencies among features. By calculating a scaling parameter to navigate within feasible regions, WOADD adjusts its search strategy to ensure the preservation of data dependencies and adherence to constraints, ultimately leading to more efficient and precise optimization outcomes. Our extensive experimental analysis, which compared WOADD against other swarm optimization methods using a suite of benchmark functions, demonstrates its superior performance in terms of faster convergence rates, improved solution quality, and enhanced determinism in outcomes.
