The Bat Algorithm (BA), which is a global optimization method, performs poorly on complex continuous optimization problems due to BA’s disadvantages such as the premature convergence problem. In this paper, we propose a novel Hybrid Bat Algorithm (HBA) to improve the performance of BA. Three modific...
