Monogamous Crab Mating Optimization Algorithm

Abstract

In this study, crabs mating optimization (CRAB) algorithm that is one of the heuristic algorithms, has been developed and a monogamous crab mating optimization (MCO) algorithm has been proposed. In development, the main goal is to develop an algorithm that runs faster than the CRAB algorithm, to ensure obtaining good results like the CRAB algorithm. The developed MCO algorithm is compared with the popular heuristic algorithms such as CRAB, PSO, ABC, SA, TACO with the different metrics on five benchmark functions.
