Hydrological Cycle Algorithm for Continuous Optimization Problems

Pseudocode 2

The Evaporation, Condensation, and Precipitation pseudocode.

Evaporation procedure (WDs)

 Evaluate the solution quality

 Identify Evaporation Rate (Eq. (18))

 Select WDs to evaporate

End

Condensation procedure (WDs)

 Information exchange (WDs) (Eqs. (20)–(22))

 Identify the collector (WD)

 Update global solution

 Update the temperature

End

Precipitation procedure (WDs)

 Evaluate the solution quality

 Reinitialize dynamic parameters

 Global soil update (belong to best WDs) (Eq. (23))

 Generate a new WDs population

 Distribute the WDs randomly

End
