The Standard Bat Algorithm (BA)

This demo shows how the bat algorithm works.

You are now following this Submission

The standard bat algorithm (BA) is inspired by the echolocation characteristics of microbats. This demo solves a function of d=10 dimensions. It is straightforward to extend it to solve other functions and optimization problems.
