An efficient optimization method called 'Teaching-Learning-Based Optimization (TLBO)' is proposed in this paper for large scale non-linear optimization problems for finding the global solutions. The proposed method is based on the effect of the influence of a teacher on the output of learners in a class. The basic philosophy of the method is explained in detail. The effectiveness of the method is tested on many benchmark problems with different characteristics and the results are compared with other population based methods. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc.

A novel algorithm called Poplar Optimization Algorithm (POA) is developed in this paper to solve continuous optimization problems. The algorithm mimics the sexual and asexual propagation mechanism of poplar, where the basic philosophy of how to execute sexual and asexual propagation for individuals is detail designed in the algorithm. Mutation strategy of backtracking search algorithm is adopted in POA to maintain the diversity in a certain degree. The performance of POA algorithm is tested on 25 functions from the CEC2005 test suite and 30 functions from the CEC2017 test suite with different features. The results of POA are compared with some other population-based algorithms in terms of the quality and efficiency. Finally, the proposed algorithm is used to find the optimal threshold for image segmentation. The results indicate that the poplar optimization algorithm can obtain competitive or superior performance.
