Fox Hunting Algorithm (FHA)
International Conference on Applied Mathematics, Simulation and Modelling (AMSM 2016) A New and Fast Optimization Algorithm: Fox Hunting Algorithm (FHA) Murat Onay Erciyes University, Faculty of Aeronautical and Space Sciences, Turkey Abstract—A new population-based search algorithm called the Optimization algorithms usually have two search Fox Hunting Algorithm (FHA) is presented here. FHA is a mechanisms. The first one is a global search mechanism and general-purpose algorithm that can be applied to solve almost the second one is a local search mechanism. By the experience any optimization problem. The algorithm mimics the fox hunting researchers knows that the local search mechanism must be activity which is formed and improved since 16th century. The modified while searching approaches to the solution. Because algorithm performs some neighborhood searches combined with of that two search mechanisms are not efficient for real world random search. It can be used for both combinatorial problems. So in this optimization algorithm there are three optimization and functional optimization. search mechanisms for searching in a more efficient way. The first one is a global search mechanism; second one is a local Keywords-component; fox hunting algorithm, functional optimization, swarm intelligence search mechanism; third one is the deeper local search mechanism. They are similar to the fox hunting activity. The first search with horses is like global search in the I. INTRODUCTION optimization process; it is fast and searches bigger areas with Classical methods often face great difficulties in solving biggest steps in the whole search mechanism. The second one many complex multi-variable Optimization problems that with trained foxhounds is like local search; it is slower than abound in the real world. -
