The Expanded Invasive Weed Optimization Metaheuristic for Solving Continuous and Discrete Optimization Problems

Algorithm 3

/* Dispersing */

𝐼≔ current point in the search space.

Determine a degree of difference 𝐷 between 𝐼 and his

 offspring being created.

/*  𝐷 is interpreted as a number of transformations of 𝐼. */

For the determined number 𝐃 of transformations:

 𝐼≔ transformation(𝐼).

Return 𝐼.
