On the arXiv: dolphin echolocation algorithm for automatic knot adjustment

Man, metaheuristic algorithm designers are so creative in finding ways to avoid mathematical justification....

Here [0] is the paper describing the Dolphin Echolocation Algorithm used in this paper. Very interesting method, looks like it has real advantages compared to the usual optimization algorithms.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.researchgate.net&#x2F;profile&#x2F;A_Kaveh&#x2F;publication&#x2F;257424785_A_new_optimization_method_Dolphin_echolocation&#x2F;links&#x2F;564620af08ae451880aa336a.pdf" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.researchgate.net&#x2F;profile&#x2F;A_Kaveh&#x2F;publication&#x2F;257...</a>

Looking at the paper, it looks like an optimized Genetic Algorithm.

I really don&#x27;t trust the journal that this is published in. See <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;macrojournals.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;macrojournals.com&#x2F;</a>
