The optimization field suffers from the metaphor-based “pseudo-novel” or “fancy” optimizers. Most of these cliché methods mimic animals' searching trends and possess a small contribution to the optimization process itself. Most of these cliché methods suffer from the locally efficient performance...

Overview

The RUNge Kutta optimizer (RUN) is a groundbreaking solution in the optimization landscape. Breaking away from the conventional metaphor-based optimization techniques, it utilizes the mathematical principles of the Runge Kutta method to create a more effective and efficient algorithm. This innovative approach aims to address common pitfalls associated with traditional methods, such as local performance issues and slow convergence, and provides a more robust tool for solving complex optimization problems.

The fluid integration of active exploration and exploitation phases allows RUN to effectively navigate through the feature space, enhancing the likelihood of finding global optimal solutions. With proven competitive results against other established metaheuristic algorithms, RUN is poised to make significant contributions in both academic and real-world engineering applications.
