BOA: A novel optimization algorithm
Sameh A. Salem · 2012
In this paper, a novel algorithm for multimodal function optimization is proposed, which is called Base Optimization Algorithm (BOA). The proposed algorithm uses a combination of basic arithmetic operators along with a displacement parameter to guide and redirect the solutions towards the optimum point. The efficiency of the new algorithm is demonstrated using standard benchmark functions. A comparison of the results with those of other evolutionary algorithms shows that the proposed algorithm outperforms its competitors.
