Beluga whale optimization: A novel nature-inspired metaheuristic algorithm

作者:

Highlights:

• A novel metaheuristic algorithm named as Beluga Whale Optimization (BWO) is proposed.

• The behaviors of swim, prey and whale fall are designed on BWO algorithm.

• The BWO is tested on 30 well-known benchmark functions and 4 engineering problems.

• The BWO is compared with 15 well-known metaheuristic algorithms.

• The BWO outperforms comparing algorithms in benchmark functions, especially for scalability of dimension.
