A novel nature-inspired algorithm for optimization: Squirrel search algorithm
Abstract
Abstract This paper presents a novel nature-inspired optimization paradigm, named as squirrel search algorithm (SSA). This optimizer imitates the dynamic foraging behaviour of southern flying squirrels and their efficient way of locomotion known as gliding. Gliding is an effective mechanism used by small mammals for travelling long distances. The present work mathematically models this behaviour to realize the process of optimization. The efficiency of the proposed SSA is evaluated using statistical analysis, convergence rate analysis, Wilcoxon's test and ANOVA on classical as well as modern CEC 2014 benchmark functions. An extensive comparative study is carried out to exhibit the effectiveness of SSA over other well-known optimizers in terms of optimization accuracy and convergence rate. The proposed algorithm is implemented on a real-time Heat Flow Experiment to check its applicability and robustness. The results demonstrate that SSA provides more accurate solutions with high convergence rate as compared to other existing optimizers.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
