A novel Bio-inspired algorithm based on the foraging behaviour of the Bottlenose dolphin

Nature has various biological activities which has simulated the development of many elegant algorithms for problem-solving since it exhibits extremely heterogeneous and captivating phenomenon. The bio-inspired tactics have several mesmeric features and choices compared to conventional optimization solvers. Genetic Algorithm (GA) are adaptive heuristic search algorithm based on the evolutionary ideas of natural selection and has significant benefits over more typical search of optimization techniques. Self-organization technique automates the selection of appropriate parameter values of GA during execution without the user´s intervention. GA explores the multi-parameter space of solution and in each iterative step; chromosomes are altered. To blend self-organization and GA, it is essential to understand its various aspects clearly. In GA, the selection of appropriate parameters is difficult, reducing run time and avoiding premature convergence is difficult. In this paper, a new Bio-inspired optimization algorithm has been proposed based on the foraging behaviour of the Bottlenose dolphin. One of the famous combinatorial hard problems of Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) is being chosen as thetest bed.
