Orca predation algorithm: A novel bio-inspired algorithm for global optimization problems

作者:

Highlights:

• Inspired by the predatory behavior of orcas, a novel algorithm OPA is proposed.

• The models of driving, encircling, attacking and adjusting are established in OPA.

• The proposed OPA is evaluated on 67 benchmarks functions.

• The performance of OPA is also tested by 4 engineering design problems.

• The results show the merits of OPA as compared to 8 well-established algorithms.
