The electromagnetism-like method (EM) is a meta-heuristic algorithm utilizing an attraction-repulsion mechanism to move sample points towards optimality in continuous optimization problems. Traditionally, the EM uses two algorithms known as the original and revised EMs. This paper presents a novel hybrid approach for EM by employing a well-known local search, called Solis and Wets. To show the performance of our proposed hybrid EM, a number of experiments are carried out on a set of well-known test problems and the related results are compared with two forgoing algorithms.
