Abstract

The social spider-prey (SSP) search is one of the newly developed search strategies for an optimization problem. SSP mimics the behaviour of the spider and prey on the spider’s web. This paper aims to propose a hybrid algorithm that avoids parameter estimation based on trial-and-error for the global optimization problem. The methodology is based on the Kestrel-based search method (KSA) to generate the best weight value of the prey in any hyper-dimensional space, which is constrained by parameters due to the nature and complexity of the problem. The proposed hybrid SSP-KSA was tested on benchmark functions through a computational experiment and the results are discussed. The results indicate that the Hybrid SSP-KSA demonstrate global optimization performance for the different dimensional waves in the search spaces. The results also show the different values of amplitude, and none reached −16 × 10−8 value. Also, the optimal value for the superimposed wave was between 0.1 and 0.13. In conclusion, irrespective of an increase in dimension space, the graph of amplitude converges to optimality which suggests a prey has finally been caught on the spider’s web.
