JAYA Optimization Algorithm Step-by-Step with Numerical Example JAYA Algorithm is very simple and new optimization algorithm used for solving constrained and unconstrained optimization problems. Jaya: An Advanced Optimization Algorithm. JAYA Algorithm is very simple and new optimization algorithm used for solving constrained and unconstrained optimization problems. It is Simple, Unique and Powerful Optimization Algorithm. JAYA algorithm is introduced by R.V. Rao in 2016. JAYA is a SANSKRIT word it means VICTORY. That's why this algorithm always tries to get closer to the source (i.e., reaching the BEST Solution) and at the same time tries to avoid the WORST Solution. All values at the end of iteration are maintained and these values become the INPUT to the next iteration. JAYA Algorithm is simpler than TLBO (Teaching Learning Based Optimization) algorithm. Author also compared this algorithm with latest approaches and found JAYA algorithm at RANK 01 for BEST and MEAN solution for
