FOX: A Fox-inspired Optimization Algorithm
Applied Intelligence, 2022 Abstract This paper proposes a novel nature-inspired optimization algorithm called the Fox optimizer (FOX) which mimics the foraging behavior of foxes in nature when hunting prey. The algorithm is based on techniques for measuring the distance between the fox and its prey to execute an efficient jump.
