What are the most effective operators that can be incorporated into metaheuristic algorithms to rectify the problem of low population diversity and hence premature convergence? Any additional tips on this matter would be very helpful.
I recommend that you use the tangent flight
X=X+tan(rand*pi) % large flight
or
X=X+ sign(rand-0.5)*tan(rand*pi/2.5) % small flight
