LPBSA: Enhancing Optimization Efficiency through Learner Performance-based Behavior and Simulated Annealing

This study introduces the LPBSA, an advanced optimization algorithm that combines Learner Performance-based Behavior (LPB) and Simulated Annealing (SA) in a hybrid approach. Emphasizing metaheuristics, the LPBSA addresses and mitigates the challenges associated with traditional LPB methodologies, enhancing convergence, robustness, and adaptability in solving complex optimization problems. Through extensive evaluations using benchmark test functions, the LPBSA demonstrates superior performance compared to LPB and competes favorably with established algorithms such as PSO, FDO, LEO, and GA. Real-world applications underscore the algorithm's promise, with LPBSA outperforming the LEO algorithm in two tested scenarios. Based on the study results many test function results such as TF5 by recording (4.76762333) and some other test functions provided in the result section prove that LPBSA outperforms popular algorithms. This research highlights the efficacy of a hybrid approach in the ongoing evolution of optimization algorithms, showcasing the LPBSA's capacity to navigate diverse optimization landscapes and contribute significantly to addressing intricate optimization challenges.
