A metaheuristic optimization framework inspired by virus mutations and its ability to optimize the structural design of 2D and 3D steel frames compared to other methods by Mehdi Ghasri, Hamid Reza Karimi, Abdolhamid Salarnia

“…MVPO integrates population-based exploration, simulating viral spread through intra-community interactions (guided by wavelet functions to model transmission variability) and inter-community propagation, with a two-phase mutation strategy: the first phase enhances global exploration via elongated search steps during accelerated spread, while the second phase introduces structural perturbations to escape local optima. …”
