Abstract
A novel population-based optimization method is proposed in this paper, the Calico Salmon Migration Algorithm (CSMA), which is inspired by the natural behavior of calico salmon during their migration for mating. The CSMA optimization process comprises four stages: selecting the search space by swimming into the river, expanding the search space from the river into the ocean, performing precise search during the migrating process, and breeding new subspecies by the remaining calico salmon population. To evaluate the effectiveness of the new optimizer, we conducted a series of experiments using different optimization problems and compared the results with various optimization algorithms in the literature. The numerical experimental results for benchmark functions demonstrate that the proposed CSMA outperforms other competing optimization algorithms in terms of convergence speed, accuracy,…
