\section{Harris hawks optimization (HHO)}
\label{s:hho}
Figure \ref{fig:CT} shows all phases of HHO, which are described in the next subsections.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\subsection{Exploration phase}
In HHO, the Harris' hawks perch randomly on some locations and wait to detect a prey based on two strategies.
\begin{equation} \label{eq:1}
X(t+1) = \left\{\begin{matrix}
X_{rand}(t)-r_{1}\left | X_{rand}(t)-2r_{2}X(t) \right | & q\geq 0.5 \\
(X_{rabbit}(t)-X_{m}(t))-r_{3}(LB+r_{4}(UB-LB)) & q<0.5
\end{matrix}\right.
\end{equation}
\noindent where $X(t+1)$ is the position vector of hawks in the next iteration $t$, $X_{rabbit}(t)$ is the position of rabbit, $X(t)$ is the current position vector of hawks, $r_{1}$, $r_{2}$, $r_{3}$, $r_{4}$, and $q$ are random numbers inside (0,1), which are updated in each iteration, $LB$ and $UB$ show the upper and lower bounds of variables, $X_{rand}(t)$ is a randomly selected hawk from the current population, and $X_{m}$ is the average position of the current population of hawks.
The average position of hawks is attained using Eq. (\ref{eq:2}):
\begin{equation} \label{eq:2}
X_{m}(t)=\frac{1}{N}\sum_{i=1}^{N}X_{i}(t)
\end{equation}
where $X_{i}(t)$ indicates the location of each hawk in iteration $t$ and $N$ denotes the total number of hawks.
\subsection{Transition from exploration to exploitation}
To model this step, the energy of a rabbit is modeled as:
\begin{equation} \label{eq:3}
E=2E_{0}(1-\frac{t}{T})
\end{equation}
where $E$ indicates the escaping energy of the prey, $T$ is the maximum number of iterations, and $E_{0}$ is the initial state of its energy. The time-dependent behavior of $E$ is also demonstrated in Fig. \ref{fig:E}.
\begin{figure}[http]
\centering
\includegraphics[scale=0.7]{E2}
\caption{Behavior of $E$ during two runs and 500 iterations}
\label{fig:E}
\end{figure}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\subsection{Exploitation phase}
\subsubsection{Soft besiege}
This behavior is modeled by the following rules:
\begin{equation} \label{eq:4}
X(t+1)=\Delta X(t)-E\left |JX_{rabbit}(t)-X(t)\right |
\end{equation}
\begin{equation} \label{eq:deltaX}
\Delta X(t)=X_{rabbit}(t)-X(t)
\end{equation}
where $\Delta X(t)$ is the difference between the position vector of the rabbit and the current location in iteration $t$, $r_{5}$ is a random number inside (0,1), and $J=2(1-r_{5})$ represents the random jump strength of the rabbit throughout the escaping procedure. The $J$ value changes randomly in each iteration to simulate the nature of rabbit motions.
\subsubsection{Hard besiege}
In this situation, the current positions are updated using Eq. (\ref{eq:hard}):
\begin{equation} \label{eq:hard}
X(t+1)=X_{rabbit}(t)-E \left |\Delta X(t) \right |
\end{equation}
A simple example of this step with one hawk is depicted in Fig. \ref{fig:movehard}.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\begin{figure}[http]
\centering
\includegraphics[scale=0.65]{hard3}
\caption{Example of overall vectors in the case of hard besiege}
\label{fig:movehard}
\end{figure}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\subsubsection{Soft besiege with progressive rapid dives}
To perform a soft besiege, we supposed that the hawks can evaluate (decide) their next move based on the following rule in Eq. (\ref{eq:6}):
\begin{equation} \label{eq:6}
Y=X_{rabbit}(t)-E\left |JX_{rabbit}(t)-X(t)\right |
\end{equation}
We supposed that they will dive based on the LF-based patterns using the following rule:
\begin{equation} \label{eq:7}
Z=Y+S\times LF(D)
\end{equation}
where $D$ is the dimension of problem and $S$ is a random vector by size $1\times D$ and LF is the levy flight function, which is calculated using Eq. (\ref{eq:lf}):
\begin{equation} \label{eq:lf}
LF(x)=0.01\times \frac{u\times \sigma }{\left | v \right |^{\frac{1}{\beta }}}, \sigma =\left ( \frac{\Gamma (1+\beta )\times sin(\frac{\pi\beta}{2})}{\Gamma(\frac{1+\beta}{2})\times \beta\times2^{(\frac{\beta-1}{2})})} \right )^{\frac{1}{\beta}}
\end{equation}
where $u$, $v$ are random values inside (0,1), $\beta$ is a default constant set to 1.5.
Hence, the final strategy for updating the positions of hawks in the soft besiege phase can be performed by Eq. (\ref{eq:main}):
\begin{equation} \label{eq:main}
X(t+1)=\left\{\begin{matrix}
Y & if F(Y)<F(X(t)) \\
Z & if F(Z)<F(X(t)) \\
\end{matrix}\right.
\end{equation}
where $Y$ and $Z$ are obtained using Eqs.(\ref{eq:6}) and (\ref{eq:7}).
A simple illustration of this step for one hawk is demonstrated in Fig. \ref{fig:move}.

\label{fig:move}
\end{figure}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\subsubsection{Hard besiege with progressive rapid dives}
The following rule is performed in hard besiege condition:
\begin{equation} \label{eq:mainhard2}
X(t+1)=\left\{\begin{matrix}
Y & if F(Y)<F(X(t)) \\
Z & if F(Z)<F(X(t)) \\
\end{matrix}\right.
\end{equation}
where $Y$ and $Z$ are obtained using new rules in Eqs.(\ref{eq:newy}) and (\ref{eq:newz}).
\begin{equation} \label{eq:newy}
Y=X_{rabbit}(t)-E\left |JX_{rabbit}(t)-X_{m}(t)\right |
\end{equation}
\begin{equation} \label{eq:newz}
Z=Y+S\times LF(D)
\end{equation}
where $X_{m}(t)$ is obtained using Eq. (\ref{eq:2}).
A simple example of this step is demonstrated in Fig. \ref{fig:movehard2}.
