Bat Algorithm

The Bat Algorithm (BA) is a nature-inspired metaheuristic optimization method proposed by Xin-She Yang in 2010. It mimics the echolocation behavior of microbats to balance global exploration and local exploitation. Each artificial bat adjusts its position, velocity, and emission frequency, with loudness and pulse rate dynamically controlling the transition from broad search to refined local tuning. BA is suited to continuous and combinatorial optimization problems across engineering, scheduling, and machine learning domains.
