Snow Flake Optimization Algorithm

Optimization is the best result finding process under certain constraints for a given problem. In this study, a new population-based optimization algorithm, Snow Flake Optimization Algorithm (SFO), is proposed to model a snowflake falling on the ground. The mathematical formulation of the developed algorithm is given. In addition, 8 benchmark functions are solved with the proposed algorithm and the results are presented in tabular form. According to the results, SFO achieved successful results in solving all functions.
