Abstract

The Red Deer Algorithm (RDA) is one of recent metaheuristic algorithms inspired by the behavior of red deers during a breading season. The RDA revealed its performance for a variety of combinatorial optimization problems in different real-world applications. In this paper, the parameters and operators of RDA using some adaptive strategies have been modified to improve the performance of this optimizer. To prove the efficiency of Improved RDA (IRDA), not only some benchmarked functions are utilized but also a Direct Current (DC) brushless motor design as one of real-world engineering design issues. The results of developed IRDA have been compared with its general idea and existing algorithms from the literature. This comparative study confirms that the offered IRDA outperforms the other algorithms and provide very competitive results.
