Nature inspired meta-heuristic algorithms are iterative search processes which find near optimal solutions by efficiently performing exploration and exploitation of the solution space. Considering the solution space in a specified region, this work compares performances of Bat, Cuckoo search and Firefly algorithms for unconstrained optimization problems. Global optima are found using various te...

This paper presents an object-oriented software system that implements a cuckoo search (CS) metaheuristic for unconstrained optimization problems. Yang and Deb developed cuckoo search algorithm in MATLAB and tested it on some standard benchmark functions as well as on some engineering optimization problems where it showed promising results. We developed our algorithm in JAVA programming languag...

Cuckoo search (CS) was introduced in 2009, and it has attracted great attention due to its promising efficiency in solving many optimization problems and real-world applications. In the last few years, many papers have been published regarding cuckoo search, and the relevant literature has expanded significantly. This chapter summarizes briefly the majority of the literature about cuckoo search...

An improved method for adaptive noise canceller (ANC) is proposed for noisy speech signal in case of random noise. In this approach, ANC is implemented through four different metaheuristic techniques. A comparative study of the performance of various metaheuristic techniques such as Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Artificial Bee Colony (ABC), Cuckoo Search (CS) and Modified Cuckoo Search (MC...

Today’s world sees a lot of changes being done. These are a result of some modification or some innovation. This research is being done in the field of Swarm Intelligence or SI. It deals with studying the behaviour of organisms or swarms. Swarms are individual entities which are working on their own, yet their combined or aggregate behaviour yields some great results. This begins by studying th...

Optimization techniques play a major role in real-world problems, As many cases which decisions are made based on random research. But choosing the optimization technology is big challenge for user. The cuckoo search algorithm one of modern that can replace traditional used, bird use Levi's flight strategy egg laying method to extract solution problem. presented work will provide review origina...
