Billiards Optimization Algorithm: A New Game-Based Metaheuristic Approach

Metaheuristic algorithms are one of the most widely used stochastic approaches in solving optimization problems. In this paper, a new metaheuristic algorithm entitled Billiards Optimization Algorithm (BOA) is proposed and designed to be applications. The fundamental inspiration BOA design behavior players rules billiards game. Various steps described then its mathematical model thoroughly explained. efficiency dealing with problems evaluated through optimizing twenty-three standard benchmark functions different types including unimodal, high-dimensional multimodal, fixed-dimensional multimodal functions. order analyze quality results obtained by BOA, performance approach compared ten well-known algorithms. simulation show that high exploration exploitation abilities, achieves an impressive providing solutions objective superior far more competitive competitor
