Laying Chicken Algorithm: A New Meta-Heuristic Approach to Solve Continuous Programming Problems

Abstract

A concept for the optimization of continuous programming problems using an approach based on behavior of laying chicken, to produce chicken, is introduced. Laying chicken algorithm (LCA) is used for solving different kinds of linear and non-linear programming problems. The presented approach gives efficient and feasible solutions in an appropriate time which has been evaluated by solving test problems. The comparison between LCA and both of meta-heuristic and classic approaches are proposed.
