This paper presents the Secant Optimization Algorithm (SOA), a novel mathematics-inspired metaheuristic derived from the Secant Method. SOA enhances search efficiency by repeating vector updates using ...

Across modern data-intensive disciplines, the union of numerical computation, statistics, and machine learning has become ...

Tree–seed algorithm is a stochastic search algorithm with superior performance suitable for solving continuous optimization problems. However, it is also prone to fall into local optimum and slow in ...

The course is designed to provide engineering students a view of optimization as a tool for engineering decision making. Students will be given a fundamental introduction to the optimization ...
