Harmony search (HS) algorithm is an emerging population oriented stochastic metaheuristic algorithm, which is inspired by the music improvisation process. This paper introduces an Amended harmony search (AHS) algorithm for solving optimization problems. In AHS, an enhanced approach is employed for generating better solution that improves accuracy and convergence speed of harmony search (HS). The effects of various parameters on harmony search algorithm are analyzed in this paper. The proposed approach performs fine tuning of two parameters bandwidth and pitch adjustment rate. The proposed algorithm is demonstrated on complex benchmark functions and results are compared with two recent variants of HS optimization algorithms, improved harmony search (IHS) and highly reliable harmony search (HRHS). Results suggested that the AHS method has strong convergence and has better balance capacity of exploration and exploitation.
