Harmony search algorithm (HSA) is extensively utilized in engineering optimization. Nevertheless, it encounters problems of slow convergence and reduced accuracy, which hinder its capability to escape local optima. This paper proposes HSA-DELF, a novel hybrid algorithm that combines differential evo...
