Introduction to Algorithms

Xin-She Yang
TL;DR: This chapter provides an overview of the fundamentals of algorithms and their links to self-organization, exploration, and exploitation.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Cuckoo Search via Lévy flights

TL;DR: A new meta-heuristic algorithm, called Cuckoo Search (CS), is formulated, based on the obligate brood parasitic behaviour of some cuckoo species in combination with the Lévy flight behaviour ofSome birds and fruit flies, for solving optimization problems.

Firefly algorithms for multimodal optimization

TL;DR: In this article, a new Firefly Algorithm (FA) was proposed for multimodal optimization applications. And the proposed FA was compared with other metaheuristic algorithms such as particle swarm optimization (PSO).
