The Coral Reefs Optimization Algorithm: A Novel Metaheuristic for Efficiently Solving Optimization Problems

Table 3

Comparison of CRO (G + C) versus PSO in different benchmark functions from [3]. Average and standard deviation of the results of the 30 runs are shown.

Algorithm	PSO	CRO (G + C)
𝐹1	1.24⋅10^−3/3⋅10^−3	1.30⋅10^−3/2⋅10^−4
𝐹2	2.1⋅10^−3/7⋅10^−4	1.83⋅10^−3/3⋅10^−4
𝐹3	2.6⋅10^3/1⋅10^2	2.0⋅10^3/4⋅10^2
𝐹4	7.5/0.8	6.2/0.7
𝐹5	1.7⋅10^3/3⋅10^2	1.6⋅10^3/1.5⋅10^2
𝐹6	7.1⋅10^−3/2⋅10^−4	1⋅10^−3/6⋅10^−4
𝐹7	0.02/1⋅10^−2	0.02/0.9⋅10^−2
