Pelican Optimization Algorithm: A Novel Nature-Inspired Algorithm for Engineering Applications

🤖 Plain-English Summary

Optimization is an important and fundamental challenge to solve optimization problems in different scientific disciplines. The findings of POA are compared with eight well-known metaheuristic algorithms to assess its competence in optimization.

🔑 Key Findings

• In this paper, a new stochastic nature-inspired optimization algorithm called Pelican Optimization Algorithm (POA) is introduced.
• The main idea in designing the proposed POA is simulation of the natural behavior of pelicans during hunting.
• In POA, search agents are pelicans that search for food sources.
