Symmetric projection optimizer: concise and efficient solving engineering problems using the fundamental wave of the Fourier series.

The fitness function value is a kind of important information in the search process, which can be more targeted according to the guidance of the fitness function value. Most existing meta-heuristic algorithms only use the fitness function value as an indicator to compare the current variables as good or bad but do not use the fitness function value in the search process. To address this problem, the mathematical idea of the fitting is introduced into the meta-heuristic algorithm, and a symmetric projection optimizer (SPO) is proposed to solve numerical optimization and engineering problems more efficiently.
