Abstract: In this paper, we propose a new method for solving the Loney's solenoid benchmark problem based on stem cells algorithm (SCA). The key idea of the algorithm is using a modified version of our proposed stem cells optimization method that can efficiently achieve the best solution for the position and size of two correcting coils in the famous Loney's solenoid problem. The results show the superiority of the proposed method on other previously proposed methods for electromagnetic optimization.
