New Benchmark Functions for Single-Objective Optimization Based on a Zigzag Pattern

Jakub Kudela et al.

Summary: Benchmarking plays a crucial role in the development and comparison of optimization methods in the field of evolutionary computation. This paper proposes new benchmark functions based on a zigzag function for single-objective optimization with constraints. Extensive computational experiments are conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed benchmarks, and a benchmark set with statistically significant ranking among algorithms is devised.

Salp Swarm Optimization: A critical review

Mauro Castelli et al.

Summary: The Salp Swarm Optimization (SSO) algorithm gained momentum in the bio-inspired population-based metaheuristics field, but was criticized for conceptual and mathematical flaws. A corrected version, named Amended Salp Swarm Optimizer (ASSO), outperformed the original SSO in tailored experiments. Experimental results suggest that SSO and its variants do not offer significant advantages over other metaheuristics.

Commentary on: STOA: A bio-inspired based optimization algorithm for industrial engineering problems'' [EAAI, 82 (2019), 148-174] and Tunicate Swarm Algorithm: A new bio-inspired based metaheuristic paradigm for global optimization'' [EAAI, 90 (2020), no. 103541]

Jakub Kudela

Summary: This commentary discusses the issues with two recently developed metaheuristic algorithms, the Sooty Tern Optimization Algorithm and the Tunicate Swarm Algorithm. Both algorithms claim computational superiority over other methods based on experimental results, but this claim is invalid. The algorithms use a zero-bias operator, and many benchmark functions where they excel have optimal solutions located in the zero vector. Furthermore, the provided codes for these methods do not achieve the reported results.

MIPLIB 2017: data-driven compilation of the 6th mixed-integer programming library

Ambros Gleixner et al.

Summary: The sixth version of the MIPLIB, known as MIPLIB 2017, was compiled from an initial pool of 5721 instances, resulting in a collection of 1065 instances with a subset of 240 instances selected for solver performance benchmarking. This selection process utilized a data-driven approach supported by solving a series of mixed integer optimization problems to ensure diversity and balancedness in instance features and performance data.
