Symmetry-Enhanced, Improved Pathfinder Algorithm-Based Multi-Strategy Fusion for Engineering Optimization Problems

The pathfinder algorithm (PFA) starts with a random search for the initial population, which is then partitioned into only a pathfinder phase and a follower phase. This approach often results in issues like poor solution accuracy, slow convergence, and susceptibility to local optima in the PFA. To a...
