New Nature Inspired Metaheuristic Algorithm for Bats: Bat Search Algorithm (BSA)

1. Introduction            The Bat algorithm is a metaheuristic algorithm for global optimization. It was inspired by the echolocation behavior of microbats, with varying pulse rates of emission and loudness. The Bat algorithm was developed by Xin-She Yang in 2010. Metaheuristic algorithms such as particle swarm optimization and simulated annealing are now becoming powerful methods […]
