Stochastic Fractal Search (SFS)

A novel and powerful metaheuristic algorithm that you can always rely on it

You are now following this Submission

This code is the presentation of a new algorithm with new insight into solving optimization problems based on diffusion property turned up in fractals. This algorithm is able to achieve a solution that has the least (or at most, a small) error compared with the globally optimum solution within a minimal number of iterations, thus offering an improvement in terms of accuracy, convergence time and simplicity of operations.
