The proposed algorithm is called Multidirectional Grey Wolf Optimizer (MDGWO) algorithm. In the proposed algorithm, we try to accelerate the standard grey wolf optimizer algorithm (GWO) by invoking the multidirectional search method with it in order to accelerate the search instead of letting the standard GWO run for more iterations without significant improvement in the results. MDGWO starts the search by applying the standard GWO search for a number of iterations, and then the best-obtained solution is passed to the multidirectional search method as an intensification process in order to accelerate the search and overcome the slow convergence of the standard GWO algorithm. We test MDGWO algorithm on seven integer programming problems and 10 minimax problems. Moreover, we compare against 11 algorithms for solving integer programming problems and 10 algorithms for solving minimax problems. Furthermore, we show the efficiency of the proposed algorithm and its ability to solve integer and minimax optimization problems in reasonable time by giving several results of the experiments. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1142\/s1469026818500220","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,14]],"date-time":"2018-12-14T02:41:00Z","timestamp":1544755260000},"page":"1850022","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Multidirectional Grey Wolf Optimizer Algorithm for Solving Global Optimization Problems"],"prefix":"10.1142","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Mohamed A.","family":"Tawhid","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Faculty of Science, Thompson Rivers University, Kamloops, BC, Canada V2C 0C8, Canada"}]},{"given":"Ahmed F.","family":"Ali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Faculty of Science, Thompson Rivers University, Kamloops, BC, Canada V2C 0C8, Canada"},{"name":"Department of Computer Science, Faculty of Computers and Informatics, Suez Canal University, Ismailia, Egypt"}]}],"member":"219","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,17]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"S1469026818500220BIB001","first-page":"125","volume":"53","author":"Ali A.
