Effects of Control Parameters of Simple Optimization Technique (SOPT) in Solving Constrained Optimization Problem

Abstract

Simple Optimization Technique (SOPT) is an efficient Meta-heuristic population based technique where iterations are
done in stages namely exploration and exploitation. Each stage is represented with a defining equation and Control
parameters are used for each equation. Almost all Meta-heuristic technique is dependent on control parameters. Control
parameters play a vital role in obtaining final result tremendously. In the present work the effect of two control
parameters of SOPT is studied by selecting two constrained optimization problems.
