N2 - The League Championship Algorithm (LCA) is a population-based algorithm motivated by competitions for the championship in sports leagues, in which each solution in the population is considered as the team formation adopted by a sport team. These artificial teams compete according to a given schedule generated based on a single round-robin logic. Using a stochastic method, the result of the game between pair of teams is determined based on the fitness value criterion in such a way that the fitter individual has more chance to win. Given the result of the games in the current iteration, each team preserves changes in its formation to generate a new solution following a SWOT-type analysis and the championship continues for several iterations. In this chapter, a Premier League Championship Algorithm (PLCA), which is an extended version of the LCA, is proposed for structural optimization based on the concept of post championship. The PLCA is a multi-population algorithm wherein each subpopulation forms a local league in which different individuals compete and produce new solutions. The performance of the PLCA method is investigated on three structural design test problems under displacement and stress constraints. Numerical results demonstrate that the PLCA seems to be a promising alternative approach for structural optimization problems.
