There are problems in the optimization process of pelican optimization algorithm, such as the reduction of population diversity, the decrease of convergence speed, and the tendency to fall into local optimum. To solve these problems, multiple strategies are integrated to improve pelican optimization algorithm, and the improved pelican optimization algorithm (IPOA) is proposed. Firstly, the pelican population is initialized by using the tent chaos map and refracted opposition-based learning strategy, which not only increases the population diversity, but also lays the foundation for improving the optimization ability of the algorithm. Then, a nonlinear inertia weight factor is introduced at the stage when pelicans approach their prey to improve the convergence speed of the algorithm. Finally, the leader strategy of salp swarm algorithm is introduced to coordinate the global search ability and local optimization ability of the algorithm. The improvement effect of the single improvement strategy is tested and IPOA is compared with 9 other optimization algorithms in the experiment. The experimental results prove the effectiveness of each improvement strategy and the superiority and robustness of IPOA.
