Abstract

This chapter presents and analyzes the Whale Optimization Algorithm. The inspiration of this algorithm is first discussed in details, which is the bubble-net foraging behaviour of humpback whales in nature. The mathematical models of this algorithm is then discussed. Due to the large number of applications, a brief literature review of WOA is provided including recent works on the algorithms itself and its applications. The chapter also tests the performance of WOA on several test functions and a real case study in the field of photonic crystal filter. The qualitative and quantitative results show that merits of this algorithm for solving a wide range of challenging problems.
