Recently we proposed a new multipoint search method in metahuristics for only 2-dimensional continuous optimization problems based on analogy of spiral phenomena in nature which is called 2-dimensional spiral optimization. The focused spiral phenomena which appear frequently in nature are approximated to logarithmic spirals. The 2-dimensional spiral optimization utilizes a feature of logarithmic spirals. In this paper, we propose n-dimensional spiral optimization by extending 2-dimensional one. The n-dimensional spiral model is constructed based on rotation matrices defined in n-dimensional space. Simulation results for various benchmark problems show effectiveness of the proposed method in comparison with other metaheuristics.
