In this paper, a novel swarm-based metaheuristic algorithm inspired from the behaviors of beluga whales, called beluga whale optimization (BWO), is presented to solve optimization problem. Three phases of exploration, exploitation and whale fall are established in BWO, corresponding to the behaviors...
