Detective Behavior Algorithm (DBA): A New Metaheuristic for Design and Engineering Optimization
this algorithm proposes the Detective Behavior Algorithm (DBA), a novel meta-heuristic approach that integrates three core search mechanisms: large-area directional exploration, localized exploitation, and direct target-oriented attacks. DBA is designed to balance exploration and exploitation effectively, enabling faster convergence and improved global search capabilities.
