Nutcracker Optimization Algorithm (NOA) is a novel nature-inspired optimization algorithm that is inspired by two distinct behaviors of nutcrackers that occur at separate periods. The first behavior, which occurs during the summer and fall seasons, represents the nutcracker's search for seeds and subsequent storage in an appropriate cache. During the winter and spring seasons, another behavior based on the spatial memory strategy is regarded to search for the hidden caches marked at different angles using various objects or markers as reference points.
NOA is evaluated on test suites of CEC-2014, CEC-2017, and CEC-2020 and five real-world engineering design problems. NOA is compared with three classes of existing optimization algorithms: 1) SMA, GBO, EO, RUN, AVOA, RFO and GTO as recently-published algorithms, 2) SSA, WOA and GWO as highly-cited algorithms, and 3) AL-SHADE, L-SHADE, LSHADE-cnEpSin, and LSHADE-SPACMA as highly-performing optimizers and winners of CEC competition. NOA was ranked first among all methods and demonstrated superior results when compared to LSHADE-cnEpSin and LSHADE-SPACMA as the best-performing optimizers and the winners of CEC-2017.
