Abstract :With the increasing complexity of optimization problems, new metaheuristic algorithms are being developed. These algorithms show their success by exhibiting superior performances on different problems. In this paper, the performance of 4 recently proposed metaheuristic algorithms, namely Artificial Hummingbird Algorithm (AHA), African Vultures Optimization Algorithm (AVOA), Crayfish Optimization Algorithm (COA) and Marine Predators Optimization Algorithm (MPA) on 26 test functions are compared. As a result of the comparisons, it was observed that the algorithms outperformed each other with very small differences on different functions. At the same time, the comparison results were evaluated by t-test statistical test. AVOA has shown better or comparable performance to other recent metaheuristics in evaluating the quality of solutions for several test functions. It is aimed to use AVOA on different problems in future research.
