Wingsuit Flying Search—A Novel Global Optimization Algorithm

Flying Squirrel Optimizer (FSO): A novel SI-based optimization algorithm for engineering problems

This paper provides a novel meta-heuristic optimization algorithm. The behaviors of flying squirrels in the nature are the main inspiration of this research. These behaviors include flying from tree to tree and walking on the ground or on a tree branch to find food. They also contact each other with chirp or squeak. This algorithm is named flying squirrel optimizer (FSO). Two main theories of m...

Improved Cuckoo Search Algorithm for Global Optimization

The cuckoo search algorithm is a recently developedmeta-heuristic optimization algorithm, which is suitable forsolving optimization problems. To enhance the accuracy andconvergence rate of this algorithm, an improved cuckoo searchalgorithm is proposed in this paper. Normally, the parametersof the cuckoo search are kept constant. This may lead todecreasing the efficiency of the algorithm. To cop...

In this paper, a novel Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm is presented, in which the information of the best neighbor of each particle and the best particle of the entire popu...

Flying Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm for Combinatorial Optimization

In this paper is introduce "flying" ants in Ant Colony Optimization (ACO). In traditional ACO algorithms the ants construct their solution regarding one step forward. In proposed ACO algorithm, the ants make their decision, regarding more than one step forward, but they include only one new element in their solutions.
