A Dynamic Polymorphic Population based Algorithm: Side – Blotched Lizard Algorithm (SBLA) a reliable Algorithm to use in Real – World Problems

1. Introduction The Side- Blotched Lizard Algorithm (SBLA) is a subpopulation-based optimization algorithm is to define the total and partial populations of lizards, taking into consideration how the distribution of each morph gradually changes as time goes by. Such lizard’s analysis with three morphs connected with the particular mating strategies [1]. The strategy takes into […]
