1. Introduction Bio-inspired computing refers to a class of optimization algorithms which apply the intelligence of the nature and one of their main applications is the solving of the complex engineering optimization problems [1]. A novel algorithm inspired from the hierarchical organization of the horse herds obtained a Horse Optimization Algorithm (HOA). The modified version […]

Chaos Game Optimization (CGO): Useful for the Application of Fractal Theory such as Classification and Identification
1. Introduction Game is a competitive activity involving skill, chance, or endurance on the part of two or more persons who play according to a set of rules, usually for their own amusement or for that of spectators Most of the design problems in the nature can be considered as optimization problems which request some […]

Genetic Algorithm (GA) is developed in 1975 by Prof. John Holland was inspired by Darwin’s theory of evolution which states that the survival of an organism is affected by rule “the strongest species that survives”. Darwin also stated that the survival of an organism can be maintained through the process of reproduction, crossover and mutation. […]

1. Introduction Nature, as a rich source of solutions, can be an inspirational guide to answer scientific expectations [1]. Seed dispersal mechanism as one of the most common reproduction [2] method among the plants is a unique technique with millions of years of evolutionary history [3]. Inspired by plants survival, a novel method of optimization […]

1. Introduction A new optimization algorithm called Rain optimization Algorithm (ROA) [1] is validated by applying on computationally expensive benchmark problems [2]. ROA mimics the natural behavior of raindrops trickling down a hill (high position) towards a valley (low position) [3]. 2. Inspiration of ROA The main inspiration of ROA is from raindrop behavior [4]. Raindrops naturally trickle down along […]

1. Introduction In different real-world problems there is a need to minimize production cost, risks, and maximize reliability etc [1]. Optimization is the process of determining the best value for a decision variable of a function so as to minimize or maximize an objective function [2]. The objective of the optimization process is to determine […]

1. Introduction In Chemistry, the vapor-liquid equilibrium process describes the distribution of chemical species combining two essential phases [1]: vapor phase and liquid phase. Using a binary system of compounds is possible to simulate a search process based on the equilibrium between both phases [2]. Understanding the distribution of chemical components in both the vapor and liquid phase, called vapor-liquid […]

1. Introduction The Border collie is often considered to be the brightest dog from other breeds that are considered to have higher cognitive skill levels [1]. It is known that dogs, like people, have different levels of intelligence [2]. Intelligence is determined by the ability of the dog to learn, which generally means the ability […]

1. Introduction Shell Game Optimization (SGO) simulating the rules of a game known as shell game to design an algorithm for solving optimization problems in different fields of science [1]. The key idea of the SGO is to find the ball hidden under one of the three shells, which should be guessed by players [2]. […]

1. Introduction Groundwater is one of the most valuable natural resources especially in arid regions due to negligible rainfall and the scarcity of surface water resources [1]. Groundwater models are computer models of groundwater flow systems, and are used by various types of numerical solutions like the finite difference method and the finite element method. 2. Optimization Approach Technique Optimization […]
