Abstract

In this study, Spiral Optimization Algorithm (SOA) that is one of the heuristic algorithms was improved by the self-adaptive concept. Adaptive Spiral Optimization Algorithm (ASOA) includes the self-adaptive structure to adjust the spiral radius and spiral angle values that are the parameters of SOA during the optimization. Three different ASOA versions were proposed in this paper. To evaluate the performance of the ASOA's versions, five benchmark optimization problems were taken from the literature. The proposed ASOA versions are more successful than classic SOA according to the mean best value and NFE indicators.
