Metaheuristic algorithms are useful in solving complex optimization problems. Genetic algorithm (GA) is one of the well known and oldest metaheuristic algorithms. It was introduced in 1975 and has been used in many applications varying from engineering to management and many other fields as well. However, Prey-Predator algorithm (PPA) is one of recently introduced algorithm, in 2012, inspired by the interaction between preys and their predator. The motivation and the search mechanism for these two algorithms are different. In this paper the comparison of these two algorithms both from theoretical aspects and using simulation on selected benchmark problems is presented. According to the results, PPA performs better than GA in the selected test problems.References
