    Abstract

    We present a new metaheuristic optimization technique, the Dynamic Leader Sibha Algorithm (DLSA), based on the structured dynamics of the ‘Sibha’ (an Islamic tool). Using a hierarchical leader-follower framework, DLSA dynamically balances exploration and exploitation to resolve the difficulties of high dimensional and multimodal optimization. DLSA is applied to three well-known engineering problems, namely the Speed Reducer, Welded Beam, and Pressure Vesseldo, to tackle the objectives of minimizing the weight of these structures and achieving the desired results with regularity. Key results indicate that DLSA is faster in convergence, gives better quality solutions and is more robust among diverse problem domains. DLSA is an effective and reliable optimization tool that can readily be applied to solve real-world and complex engineering problems.
