Abstract

The Squirrel Search Algorithm (SSA) is widely used due to its simple structure and efficient search ability. However, SSA exhibits relatively slow convergence speed and imbalanced exploration and exploitation. To address these limitations, this paper proposes a fuzzy squirrel search algorithm based on a wide-area search mechanism named FSSSA. The fuzzy inference system and sine cosine mutation are employed to enhance the convergence speed. The wide-area search mechanism is introduced to achieve a better balance between exploration and exploitation, as well as improve the convergence accuracy. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed strategies, FSSSA is compared with SSA on 24 diverse benchmark functions, using four evaluation indexes: convergence speed, convergence accuracy, balance and diversity, and non-parametric test. The experimental results demonstrate that FSSSA outperforms SSA in all four indexes. Furthermore, a comparison with eight metaheuristic algorithms is conducted to illustrate the optimization performance of FSSSA. The results indicate that FSSSA exhibits excellent convergence speed and overall performance. Additionally, FSSSA is applied to four engineering problems, and experimental verification confirms that it maintains superior performance in realistic optimization problems, thus demonstrating its practicality.
