In this article the authors investigate the application of the heart algorithm for solving unconstraint numerical optimization problems. Heart algorithms are a novel optimization algorithm which mimics the heart function and circulatory system procedure in the human beings. It starts with a...

This paper develops a nature-inspired metaheuristic algorithm named sun and leaf optimization (SLO) which is inspired by the effect of sunlight on the leaves germination. In SLO, candidate solutions in the state space are considered as leaves grown on a tree, and high-quality solutions are...
