Abstract: In this paper, an improved harmony search with chaos (IHSCH) is presented for solving definite integral. The simulation results show that the developed algorithm is efficient in comparison with traditional methods and demonstrate that IHSCH is valid and accurate.

Keywords: harmony search; metaheuristics; optimisation; definite integral; chaos; evolutionary algorithms; simulation.
