Introduction:-
Optimization is a basic mechanism for
addressing complicated problems in the
areas of science, engineering, and artificial
intelligence. Although metaheuristic
algorithms have proven highly effective in
dealing with vast search spaces, individual
algorithms tend to experience problems
with premature convergence or poor
exploitation. This paper presents a hybrid Fig1: Classification of Algorithms
methodology that blends the strengths of

From above table, conclude that hybrid

DA-ALO giving more relevant and
optimize value as compared to original
algorithm. Some values are remained
unchanged and some are showing
fluctuation in values. Results of hybrid
DA-ALO are impressive. Function such as
F2, F3, F4, F6, F7, F8, F9, F10, F12, F13,
F15 and F23 shows the enhancement in
value.

Conclusion:-
This research improves the performance
of DragonFly Algorithm using
hybridization approach of (DA+ALO),
The hybrid algorithm being tested on 23
benchmark functions out of which 12
functions provide a best optimal value
compared to the original Algorithm which
demonstrating an improvement in
DragonFly Algorithm performance.
