Lightning Search Algorithm

Lightning Search Algorithm (LSA) is a new metaheuristic optimization method inspired by lightning propagation. LSA uses fast projectiles to search for solutions, employing three different search methods: exponential random behavior of projectiles, concurrent formation of two leader tips using opposition theory, and local search by lead projectiles. A comparative study showed LSA performed better than Differential Search Algorithm, Bat Algorithm, Flower Pollination Algorithm, Particle Swarm Optimization, and Harmony Search Algorithm in solving optimization problems.

Lightning Search Algorithm (LSA)

Dear Researchers/Faculty members

Lightning Search Algorithm (LSA) is a new and effective metaheuristic optimization method for solving
real-valued numerical optimization problems. LSA was inspired by the natural phenomenon of lightning
and the mechanism of step leader propagation. LSA uses the concept of fast particles known as
projectiles. Standard LSA has three different search-methods. They are based on the exponential
random behavior of space projectile, the concurrent formation of two leader tips at fork points using
opposition theory and local search by lead projectile. In [1], an extensive comparative study with five
other well-known methods namely, DSA,BSA,FFA,PSO and HSA is conducted to validate and compare the
problem solving success of the LSA compared to the successes of DSA, BSA, FFA, PSO and HSA.
