Abstract
This paper introduces a bio-inspired meta-heuristic algorithm, the Besiege and Conquer Algorithm (BCA), developed to tackle complex and high-dimensional optimization problems. Drawing inspiration from the concept of symmetry and guerrilla warfare strategies, the BCA incorporates four core components: besiege, conquer, balance, and feedback. The besiege strategy strengthens exploration, while the conquer strategy enhances exploitation. Balance and feedback mechanisms maintain a dynamic equilibrium between these capabilities, ensuring robust optimization performance. The algorithm’s effectiveness is validated through benchmark test functions, demonstrating superior results in comparison with existing methods, supported by Friedman rankings and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests. Beyond theoretical and experimental validation, the BCA showcases its real-world relevance through applications in engineering design and classification problems, addressing practical challenges. These results underline the algorithm’s strong exploration, exploitation, and convergence capabilities and its potential to contribute meaningfully to diverse real-world domains.
