Özet
This research study aims to introduce chaos theory into the Manta Ray Foraging Optimization (MRFO) Algorithm and optimize a real-world design problem through the chaos-enhanced versions of this method. Manta Ray Foraging Optimization algorithm is a bio-inspired swarm intelligence-based metaheuristic algorithm simulating the distinctive food search behaviors of the manta rays. However, MRFO suffers from some intrinsic algorithmic inefficiencies such as slow and premature convergence and unexpected entrapment to the local optimum points in the search domain like most of the metaheuristic algorithms in the literature. Recently, random numbers generated by chaos theory have been incorporated into the metaheuristic algorithms to solve these problems. More than twenty chaotic maps are applied to the base algorithm and ten best performing methods are considered for performance evaluation on high-dimensional optimization test problems. Forty test problems comprising unimodal and multimodal functions have been solved by chaotic variants of MRFO and extensive statistical analysis is performed. Furthermore, thermo-economic design optimization of an air-fin cooler is maintained by the chaotic MRFO variants to assess their optimization capabilities over complex engineering design problems. Ten decisive design variables of an air fin cooler are optimized in terms of total annual cost rates and optimum solutions obtained by five best chaotic MRFO algorithms are compared to the preliminary design. A significant improvement is observed in the objective function values when MRFO with chaotic operators is applied to this considered thermal design problem.
