Osprey optimization algorithm: A new bio-inspired metaheuristic algorithm for solving engineering optimization problems

This paper introduces a new metaheuristic algorithm named the Osprey Optimization Algorithm (OOA), which imitates behavior of osprey in nature. The fundamental inspiration OOA is strategy ospreys when hunting fish from seas. In this strategy, hunts prey after detecting its position, then carries it to suitable position eat it. proposed approach two phases exploration and exploitation mathematically modeled based on simulation natural during process. performance has been evaluated optimization twenty-nine standard benchmark functions CEC 2017 test suite. Furthermore, compared with twelve well-known algorithms. results show that provided superior competitor algorithms by maintaining balance between exploitation. addition, implementation twenty-two real-world constrained problems 2011 suite shows high capability optimizing applications.
