“…Based on the perspective of metaphors by which these meta-heuristics are motivated, MHA can be classified into bio-inspired, physics-inspired, sociology-inspired, and other algorithms [3]. Representative bio-inspired algorithms include genetic algorithms [4], evolutionary strategies [5], differential evolution (DE) [6]- [8], spherical evolution [9], artificial immune algorithms [10], particle swarm optimization (PSO) [11], ant colony optimization [12], etc. Physics-inspired algorithms consist of simulated annealing [13], gravitational search algorithm [14], and quantum computing [15], while sociology-inspired ones usually denote imperialist competitive algorithm [16], brain storm optimization [17], culture algorithm [18], memetic algorithms [19], and so on.…”
