Chaotic Stochastic Paint Optimizer (CSPO)

Optimization of engineering problems requires addressing several common difficulties in the optimization problem, including but not limited to a large number of decision variables, multiple often conflicting objectives, constraints, locally optimal solutions, and expensive objective functions. It is pretty common that an algorithm performs very well on test functions but struggles when applying to real-world problems. This paper proposes a chaotic version of the recently proposed algorithm called chaotic stochastic paint optimizer (CSPO). A comparative study with other meta-heuristics demonstrates the merits of this algorithm and the change applied in this work.
