CTCM is an optimization algorithm inspired by cooperative and competitive behaviors in primitive human societies by constructing mathematical models of inter-tribal competition as well as intra-tribal cooperation.

The code could run on **Octave 9.1.0 Matlab Online**

Competition of Tribes and Cooperation of Members Algorithm, which mimic human tribe members cooperating over competing are presented. Subsequently, the mathematical model and system framework of the algorithm were constructed. In order to test the performance of the algorithm, CTCM is applied on 23 benchmark functions including unimodal,multimodal and fixed-dimension cases. The performance is compared with other state-of-the-art algorithms, including PSO, GWO, SSA, ESOA, BAS, WOA. The results indicate that CTCM possesses a strong global optimization capability and stability on the benchmark functions, and has a faster convergence speed compared with other algorithms. Finally, CTCM demonstrates superior solution capability and stability on two real engineering optimization problems.
