The choice of the best optimization algorithm is a hard issue, and it sometime depends on specific problem. The Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA) is a search algorithm based on the law of gravity, which states that each particle attracts every other particle with a force called gravitational force. Some revised versions of GSA have been proposed by using intelligent techniques. This work proposes some GSA versions based on fuzzy techniques powered by evolutionary methods, such as Genetic Algorithms (GA), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Differential Evolution (DE), to improve GSA. The designed algorithms tune a suitable parameter of GSA through a fuzzy controller whose membership functions are optimized by GA, PSO and DE. The results show that Fuzzy Gravitational Search Algorithm (FGSA) optimized by DE is optimal for unimodal functions, whereas FGSA optimized through GA is good for multimodal functions.
