The paper aims to introduce an innovative method for updating of the harmonymemory. In this manner, the aim of the research is to create modification of theharmony search or HS algorithm. The potential advantage of this technique is thatcompared to the basic technique, the amount of evaluations pertaining to the HSalgorithm for objective function of the HS algorithm are reduced significantly. The newmethod is superior to the old one in terms of maximum number of improvisations andsubsequent to it, fast performance convergence. Compared to the older version, the newmethod was found to be more effective when assessed by four renowned functionsusually used as test problems to detect performance among optimization algorithms.
