Abstract: Abstract Troop search optimization (TSO) algorithm is motivated by the dynamic controls of commander/captain over the troops before (during) each combat operation to concoct (active) a bravery battalion force. The attempt is focused to maintain the proper balance between exploration and exploitation in the search space during simulation. The inclusion of operators like ‘swapping crossover’ and ‘cut and fill’ provides additional features in TSO algorithm to make it more robust. The efficiency of TSO is tested over a set of constrained optimization problem test suite CEC 2010. Apart from that, TSO is also employed to solve five real life constrained engineering optimization problems. The empirical results, comparative statistical and graphical analysis concludes with the superiority of TSO over the state-of-art algorithms in solving constrained optimization problems.
