A Bio Inspired Algorithm: Emperor Penguin Optimizer

1.Introduction  The Emperor Penguin Optimizer Algorithm (EPO) is based on the huddling behavior of emperor penguins. The main process of EPO is to generate the huddle boundary, compute temperature around the huddle, calculate the distance, and find the effective mover. These steps are mathematically modeled and implemented on 44 well-known benchmark test functions [1]. Emperor […]
