Abstract In this study, a completely different approach to optimization is introduced through the development of a novel metaheuristic algorithm called the Barber Optimization Algorithm (BaOA). Inspired by the human interactions between barbers and customers, BaOA captures two key processes: the customer’s selection of a hairstyle and the detailed refinement during the haircut. These processes are translated into a mathematical framework that forms the foundation of BaOA, consisting of two critical phases: exploration, representing the creative selection process, and exploitation, which focuses on refining details for optimization. The performance of BaOA is evaluated using 52 standard… More >
