Pendulum-like algorithm as a local search technique

Abstract

The Pendulum-like algorithm is based on the concepts of the pendulum. All the ideas that are derived have been embedded into the suggested method. The Pendulum-like algorithm introduced, is expected to provide very good results in solving the optimization problems. This is due to the fact that Pendulum-like algorithm is a method with directed force which is reduced gradually with approximation to the global solution and it also uses the idea of back and forth movement to enhance the solution. Thus, the Pendulum-like algorithm would be integrated with the attraction-repulsion mechanism to introduce a very promising problem solving algorithm. The parameters of the proposed algorithm are evaluated and tested to prove the effect of each one on the algorithm. Also, the results of the algorithm are simulated the same behavior for the parameters of physical pendulum.
