The whale model is an effective optimization algorithm inspired by the hunting behavior of whales, specifically their "bubble net" hunting strategy. In nature, whales communicate through a complex series of swims and sounds to form a spinning web of bubbles to surround and capture prey. The whale model mimics this process by simulating the interactions between individuals in the group, looking for potential optimal solutions.

The core idea of this algorithm is to search through the tracking and collaboration of group members. Each individual represents a possible solution, and they walk randomly in the solution space, updating their position based on their own experience and that of other individuals. The advantage of the whale model is that it can effectively balance global search and local search, which means that it can quickly locate the potential optimal solution in the vast search space, but also can conduct fine search after finding the local optimal solution to improve the quality of the solution.

Whale models have a wide range of applications. It can be used to solve problems such as function optimization, path planning, machine learning parameter tuning, etc. In practical applications, the whale model is often combined with other optimization algorithms to improve the performance of the algorithm. By introducing the fitness evaluation mechanism, the algorithm can converge to the optimal solution more quickly.

In terms of algorithm design, the whale model has good flexibility and scalability. Users can adjust the model parameters according to the needs of specific problems to adapt to different types of optimization tasks. In addition, due to the low computational complexity of the whale model, it performs well when dealing with large-scale problems and is able to produce high-quality solutions in a reasonable amount of time.
