Enhanced quadratic approximation integrated with butterfly optimization: a new search algorithm tested on structural and mathematical problems

Abstract The Butterfly Optimization Algorithm (BOA) is a swarm-based technique, inspired by mating and food searching process of butterflies, developed last year. Experiments indicate that the BOA provides substantial exploration capability on conventional unconstrained benchmark problems, however f...
