摘要
This paper introduces a newmetaheuristic algorithmcalledMigration Algorithm(MA),which is helpful in solving optimization problems.The fundamental inspiration of MA is the process of human migration,which aims to improve job,educational,economic,and living conditions,and so on.Themathematicalmodeling of the proposed MAis presented in two phases to empower the proposed approach in exploration and exploitation during the search process.In the exploration phase,the algorithm population is updated based on the simulation of choosing the migration destination among the available options.In the exploitation phase,the algorithm population is updated based on the efforts of individuals in the migration destination to adapt to the new environment and improve their conditions.MA’s performance is evaluated on fifty-two standard benchmark functions consisting of unimodal and multimodal types and the CEC 2017 test suite.In addition,MA’s results are compared with the performance of twelve well-known metaheuristic algorithms.The optimization results show the proposed MA approach’s high ability to balance exploration and exploitation to achieve suitable solutions for optimization problems.The analysis and comparison of the simulation results show that MA has provided superior performance against competitor algorithms in most benchmark functions.Also,the implementation of MA on four engineering design problems indicates the effective capability of the proposed approach in handling optimization tasks in real-world applications.
