Abstract:The present research proposes a new particle swarm optimization-based metaheuristic algorithm entitled “search in forest (SIF) optimizer” to solve the global optimization problems. The algorithm is designed based on the organized behavior of search teams looking for missing persons in a forest. According to SIF optimizer, a number of teams each including several experts in the search field spread out across the forest and gradually move in the same direction by finding clues from the target until they find the… Show more
