Teaching-Learning-Based Optimization (TLBO) is recently being used as a new, reliable, accurate and robust optimization technique scheme for global optimization over continuous spaces [1]. This paper presents an, improved version of TLBO algorithm, called the Weighted Teaching-Learning-Based Optimization (WTLBO). This algorithm uses a parameter in TLBO algorithm to increase convergence rate. Pe...

This paper presents a new version of Teaching Learning-Based Optimization (TLBO) algorithm to find the optimal parameters of Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller. The proposed algorithm is an altered version of dynamic group strategy TLBO (DGS-TLBO) and is named as modified dynamic group based TLBO (MDG-TLBO) algorithm. The proposed algorithm is tested on 12 benchmark functions to...

A new efficient optimization method, called ‘Teaching–Learning-Based Optimization (TLBO)’, is proposed in this paper for the optimization of mechanical design problems. This method works on the effect of influence of a teacher on learners. Like other nature-inspired algorithms, TLBO is also a population-based method and uses a population of solutions to proceed to the global solution. The popul...

Teaching-learning-based optimization (TLBO) algorithm which simulates the teaching-learning process of the class room is one of the recently proposed swarm intelligent (SI) algorithms. In this paper, a new TLBO variant called bare-bones teaching-learning-based optimization (BBTLBO) is presented to solve the global optimization problems. In this method, each learner of teacher phase employs an i...

In this paper newly developed teaching-learning based optimization (TLBO) algorithm is applied for designing band pass (BP) and band stop (BS) digital IIR filters. TLBO is heuristic algorithm based on the social phenomenon of teaching-learning process. The effectiveness of purposed algorithm is validated by designing the BP and BS filters by approximating the magnitude response with Lp-norm err...

Harmony Search (HS) and Teaching-Learning-Based Optimization (TLBO) as new swarm intelligent optimization algorithms have received much attention in recent years. Both of them have shown outstanding performance for solving NP-Hard optimization problems. However, they also suffer dramatic performance degradation for some complex high-dimensional optimization problems. Through a lot of experiment...
