Popis: Abstract The wild horse optimizer (WHO) is a novel metaheuristic algorithm, which has been successfully applied to solving continuous engineering problems. Considering the characteristics of the wild horse optimizer, a discrete version of the algorithm, named discrete wild horse optimizer (DWHO), is proposed to solve the capacitated vehicle routing problem (CVRP). By incorporating three local search strategies-swap operation, reverse operation, and insertion operation-along with the introduction of the largest-order-value (LOV) decoding technique, the precision and quality of the solutions have been enhanced. Experimental results conducted on 44 benchmark instances indicate that, in most test cases, the solving capability of discrete wild horse optimizer surpasses that of basic wild horse optimizer (BWHO), hybrid firefly algorithm, dynamic space reduction ant colony optimization (DSRACO), and discrete artificial ecosystem-based optimization (DAEO). The discrete wild horse optimizer provides a novel approach for solving the capacitated vehicle routing problem and also offers a new perspective for addressing other discrete problems.
