“…The GLNSA was compared with other nine algorithms, proposed between 2015 and 2020, to show the effectiveness of the proposed method. These algorithms are the efficient PSO and gravitational search algorithm (ePSOGSA) ( Bharti & Jain, 2020 ), the greedy randomized adaptive search procedure (GRASP) ( Baykasoğlu, Madenoğlu & Hamzaday, 2020 ), the HA ( Li & Gao, 2016 ), the improved Jaya algorithm (IJA) ( Caldeira & Gnanavelbabu, 2019 ), the self-learning GA (SLGA) ( Chen et al, 2020 ), the scatter search with PR algorithm (SSPR) ( González, Vela & Varela, 2015 ), the teaching-learning-based optimization (TLBO) ( Buddala & Mahapatra, 2019 ), the two-level PSO (TlPSO) ( Zarrouk, Bennour & Jemai, 2019 ), and the VNS-based GA (VNSGA) ( Zhang et al, 2019 ).…”
