The tree-seed relationship is the main motivation of this algorithm. TSA has only two peculiar parameters which are the total number of trees in the stand (pop) and the controller of the seed production (search tendency). Although many problems have been solved in the literature by TSA which is the successful optimizer for low dimensional unconstrained continuous problems, real-life problems have not been addressed yet. In this study, six continuous unconstrained real-life optimization problems (gas transmission compressor design, optimal capacity of gas production facility, gear train design, frequency modulation sounds parameter identification, the spread spectrum radar polyphase code design with 10 decision variables, the spread spectrum radar polyphase code design with 20 decision variables) have been solved. It is seen that choosing the number of the population as 50 and the value of search tendency as 0.1 is appropriate according to experimental results for these problems. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.en10.1088/1757-899X/675/1/012030info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessOptimizationReal-Life ProblemsTree-Seed AlgorithmUnconstrained Continuous ProblemsConference Object6751N/A
