“…In recent decades, many researchers have used naturebased metaheuristic (MH) optimization algorithms to solve engineering problems. Some of these algorithms include tabu search (Glover, 1997), simulated annealing (Kirkpatrick et al, 1983), genetic algorithm (Goldberg and Holland, 1988), particle swamp optimization (Eberhart and Kennedy, 1995), ant colony algorithm (Dorigo et al, 1996), harmony search (HS) (Geem et al, 2001), big bang-big crunch (Erol and Eksin, 2006), the artificial bee colony algorithm (Karaboga and Basturk, 2007), cuckoo search (Yang and Deb, 2009), firefly algorithm (FA) (Yang, 2009), cuckoo optimization algorithm (Rajabioun, 2011), teaching-learning-based optimization (Rao et al, 2011), flower pollination algorithm (Yang, 2012), water cycle algorithm (Eskandar et al, 2012), krill herd algorithm (Gandomi and Alavi, 2012), ray optimization algorithm (Kaveh and Khayatazad, 2012), dolphin echolocation (Kaveh and Farhoudi, 2013), symbiotic organisms search (SOS) (Cheng and Prayogo, 2014), dragonfly algorithm (Mirjalili, 2016), Jaya algorithm (Rao, 2016), butterfly optimization algorithm (Qi et al, 2017), thermal txchange optimization (Kaveh and Dadras, 2017), focus group algorithm (Fattahi et al, 2018), squirrel search algorithm (Jain et al, 2019), Blue Monkey algorithm (Mahmood and Al-Khateeb, 2019), booster algorithm (Pakzad-Moghaddam et al, 2019), salmon migration algorithm (Deng and Zhu, 2019), sailfish optimizer algorithm (Shadravan, 2019), bear smell search algorithm (Ghasemi-Marzbali, 2020), most valuable player Algorithm (Bouchekara, 2020), and Newton MH algorithm (Gholizadeh et al, 2020). There are also numerous improved, modified, enhanced, and hybrid MH algorithms which improve on the above basic algorithms…”
