Ecological Cycle Optimizer: A novel nature-inspired metaheuristic algorithm for non-convex global optimization

arXiv:2508.20458v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: This article proposes the Ecological Cycle Optimizer (ECO), a novel metaheuristic algorithm inspired by energy flow and material cycling within ecosystems. ECO draws an analogy between the dynamic process of solving optimization problems and ecological cycling. Unique
