What is it about?
This paper proposes a novel nature-inspired optimization algorithm called the Fox optimizer (FOX) which mimics the foraging behavior of foxes in nature when hunting preys. The algorithm is based on techniques for measuring the distance between the fox and its prey to execute an efficient jump. After presenting the mathematical models and the algorithm of FOX, five classical benchmark functions and CEC2019 benchmark test functions are used to evaluate it’s performance. The FOX algorithm is also compared against the Dragonfly optimization Algorithm (DA), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Fitness Dependent Optimizer (FDO), Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO), Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA), Chimp Optimization Algorithm (ChOA), Butterfly Optimization Algorithm (BOA) and Genetic Algorithm (GA).

Why is it important?
The results indicate that FOX outperforms the above-mentioned algorithms. Subsequently, the Wilcoxon rank-sum test is used to ensure that FOX is better than the comparative algorithms in statistically significant manner. Additionally, parameter sensitivity analysis is conducted to show different exploratory and exploitative behaviors in FOX.
