Abstract

The intelligent water drops (IWD) algorithm was introduced by Hamed Shah Hosseini in 2007, which has been used to solve some of the discrete optimization problems. This chapter introduces a simplified version of the basic IWD algorithm and uses it to find the global minimum of some of the complex mathematical functions. The parameter settings have a very important role in the efficiency of the algorithm. The results demonstrated that the simplified IWD algorithm gave better results as compared to other techniques in less number of iterations.
