Selfish herd optimizer (SHO) is a new optimization algorithm. However, its optimization performance is not satisfactory. The main reason for this phenomenon is the weak global search ability of SHO. In this paper, in order to increase the global search ability of SHO, we add Levy-flight distribution strategy. To verify the performance of the proposed algorithm, we use 10 benchmark functions as test cases. Experiment results show that our algorithm is more competitive.
