dFDB-SFOA: An Improved Starfish Optimization Algorithm

Fitness-Distance Balance and Dynamic Fitness-Distance Balance based Starfish Optimization (FDB-SFOA, dFDB-SFOA) Algorithm

We have released the MATLAB implementation of FDBSFOA and dFDBSFOA, two Fitness–Distance-Balanced variants of the Starfish Optimization Algorithm. These algorithms improve candidate selection by integrating FDB and dynamic FDB mechanisms, aiming to enhance the exploration–exploitation balance in global optimization problems.

The code is associated with our article published in Biomimetics:

Fitness–Distance-Balanced Starfish Optimization for Benchmark and Engineering Design Problems. Biomimetics, 2026, 11(6), 390.
