As\na consequence, a number of open-source libraries are available in the\nliterature, which ends up fostering the research and development of new\ntechniques and applications. In this work, we present a new library for the\nimplementation and fast prototyping of nature-inspired techniques called\nLibOPT. Currently, the library implements 15 techniques and 112 benchmarking\nfunctions, as well as it also supports 11 hypercomplex-based optimization\napproaches, which makes it one of the first of its kind. We showed how one can\neasily use and also implement new techniques in LibOPT under the C paradigm.\nExamples are provided with samples of source-code using benchmarking functions.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1704.05174v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1704.05174v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"libopt-an-open-source-platform-for-fast","repo_url":"https://github.com/jppbsi/LibOPT","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"benchmarking","task_name":"Benchmarking"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
