Teaching-Learning-Based Optimization with Learning Enthusiasm Mechanism and Its Application in Chemical Engineering

Algorithm 1

Basic TLBO.

(1) Begin

(2)Initialize NP (number of learners) and D (dimension);

(3)Initialize learners and evaluate them;

(4)while stopping condition is not met

(5)Choose the best learner as ;

(6)Calculate the mean    of all learners;

(7)for each learner

(8)// Teacher phase //

(9)T_F = round(1 + rand);

(10)Update the learner according to Eq. (1);

(11)Evaluate the new learner ;

(12)Accept if it is better than the old one

(13)// Learner phase //

(14)Randomly select another learner   which is different from ;

(15)Update the learner according to Eq. (2);

(16)Evaluate the new learner ;

(17)Accept   if it is better than the old one ;

(18)end for

(19)end while
