Description
Summary:With the development of optimization theory and the application of computer technology, some new intellective optimization algorithms are developed quickly and applied widely, which is becoming the most important method for optimization problems. In this article, a new intellective optimization algorithm—Specular Reflection Algorithm—is proposed by authors who are inspired by the physical function of mirror. The traditional mathematical theory is used to prove the global convergence of this new algorithm. In order to validate the performance of this algorithm, three classical testing functions are adopted; then the algorithm is used to solve discrete engineering optimization problems and the results indicate that the Specular Reflection Algorithm has higher computation efficiency and extensive prospect for engineering application.
