The optimal multi-degree reduction of Ball Bézier curves using an improved squirrel search algorithm

As a new nature-inspired swarm intelligence optimizer, squirrel search algorithm (SSA) has shown potential to solve several real-world problems, but for some complex problems, it still suffers from degraded performance. In this paper, a hybrid squirrel search algorithm (NOSSA) combined with optimal neighborhood update and quasi-opposition learning strategies is proposed to overcome the drawback of population update guided only by leading...
