Efficiency analysis of the Sine-Cosine Algorithm in solving the Flow Shop Scheduling Problem

Abstract

This article presents the efficiency of the Sine-Cosine Algorithm (SCA) and the analysis of its search space. The Sine-Cosine Algorithm is originally a continuous optimization algorithm, which was discretized in this article because the article solves the Flow Shop Scheduling (FSS) Problem. The article also presents the continuous Sine-Cosine Algorithm and its discretized modification. The article presents the Flow Shop Scheduling problem and then the test results.
