The Ant Lion Optimizer
The Ant Lion Optimizer inspired by the hunting mechanism of antlions is proposed. The ALO algorithm is benchmarked on 29 well-known test functions. The results on the unimodal functions show the superior exploitation of ALO. The exploratory ability of ALO is confirmed by the results on multimodal functions. The results on real problems confirm the performance of ALO in practice.
