PSA: A novel optimization algorithm based on survival rules of porcellio scaber
share
Bio-inspired algorithms have received a significant amount of attention in both academic and engineering societies. In this paper, based on the observation of two major survival rules of a species of woodlice, i.e., porcellio scaber, we design and propose an algorithm called the porcellio scaber algorithm (PSA) for solving optimization problems, including differentiable and non-differential ones as well as the case with local optimums. Numerical results based on benchmark problems are presented to validate the efficacy of PSA.
