A Modified Gorilla Troops Optimizer for Global Optimization Problem

The Gorilla Troops Optimizer (GTO) is a novel Metaheuristic Algorithm that was proposed in 2021. Its design was inspired by the lifestyle characteristics of gorillas, including migration to a known position, migration to an undiscovered position, moving toward the other gorillas, following silverback gorillas and competing with silverback gorillas for females. However, like other Metaheuristic Algorithms, the GTO still suffers from local optimum, low diversity, imbalanced utilization, etc. In order to improve the performance of the GTO, this paper proposes a modified Gorilla Troops Optimizer (MGTO). The improvement strategies include three parts: Beetle-Antennae Search Based on Quadratic Interpolation (QIBAS), Teaching–Learning-Based Optimization (TLBO) and Quasi-Reflection-Based Learning (QRBL). Firstly, QIBAS is utilized to enhance the diversity of the position of the silverback. Secondly, the teacher phase of TLBO is introduced to the update the behavior of following the silverback with 50% probability. Finally, the quasi-reflection position of the silverback is generated by QRBL. The optimal solution can be updated by comparing these fitness values. The performance of the proposed MGTO is comprehensively evaluated by 23 classical benchmark functions, 30 CEC2014 benchmark functions, 10 CEC2020 benchmark functions and 7 engineering problems. The experimental results show that MGTO has competitive performance and promising prospects in real-world optimization tasks.
