description Global optimization problems, prevalent across scientific and engineering disciplines, necessitate efficient algorithms for navigating complex, high-dimensional search spaces. Drawing inspiration from the resilient and adaptive growth strategies of moss colonies, the moss growth optimization (MGO) algorithm presents a promising biomimetic approach to these challenges. However, the original MGO can experience premature convergence and limited exploration capabilities. This paper introduces an enhanced bio-inspired algorithm, termed crisscross moss growth optimization (CCMGO), which incorporates a crisscross (CC) strategy and a dynamic grouping parameter, further emulating the biological mechanisms of spore dispersal and resource allocation in moss. By mimicking the interwoven growth patterns of moss, the CC strategy facilitates improved information exchange among population members, thereby enhancing offspring diversity and accelerating convergence. The dynamic grouping parameter, analogous to the adaptive resource allocation strategies of moss in response to environmental changes, balances exploration and exploitation for a more efficient search. Key findings from rigorous experimental evaluations using the CEC2017 benchmark suite demonstrate that CCMGO consistently outperforms nine established metaheuristic algorithms across diverse benchmark functions. Furthermore, in a real-world application to a three-channel reservoir production optimization problem, CCMGO achieves a significantly higher net present value (NPV) compared to benchmark algorithms. This successful application highlights CCMGO’s potential as a robust and adaptable tool for addressing complex, real-world optimization challenges, particularly those found in resource management and other nature-inspired domains.
