Simultaneous Heat Transfer Search for single objective real-parameter numerical optimization problem

In this work, we demonstrate the performance of a variant of the Heat Transfer Search algorithm which considers simultaneous heat transfer through all the three modes. It has been demonstrated on the thirty real parameter single objective, bound constrained benchmark functions that have been provided as part of one of the competition in IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation 2016. It was observed that the Simultaneous Heat Transfer Search (SHTS) algorithm has a very low time complexity and is competitive to other algorithms in terms of its ability to determine the optimal solutions.
