A timely review of all the state-of-the-art developments in the last five years of Cuckoo search, including the discussions of theoretical background and research directions for future development of this powerful algorithm.
Abstract
Cuckoo search (CS) is an efficient swarm-intelligence-based algorithm and significant developments have been made since its introduction in 2009. CS has many advantages due to its simplicity and efficiency in solving highly non-linear optimisation problems with real-world engineering applications. This paper provides a timely review of all the state-of-the-art developments in the last five years, including the discussions of theoretical background and research directions for future development of this powerful algorithm.

A Novel Improved Cuckoo Search Algorithm for Parameter Estimation of Photovoltaic (PV) Models

TL;DR: The proposed ImCSA is considered as a promising alternative to accurately and reliably estimate parameters of PV models and is capable of finding the best values of parameters for the PV models in such effective way for giving the best possible approximation to the experimental I-V data of real PV cells and modules.

Optimization by Simulated Annealing

TL;DR: There is a deep and useful connection between statistical mechanics and multivariate or combinatorial optimization (finding the minimum of a given function depending on many parameters), and a detailed analogy with annealing in solids provides a framework for optimization of very large and complex systems.

Computers and Intractability: A Guide to the Theory of NP-Completeness

TL;DR: The second edition of a quarterly column as discussed by the authors provides a continuing update to the list of problems (NP-complete and harder) presented by M. R. Garey and myself in our book "Computers and Intractability: A Guide to the Theory of NP-Completeness,” W. H. Freeman & Co., San Francisco, 1979.

No free lunch theorems for optimization

TL;DR: A framework is developed to explore the connection between effective optimization algorithms and the problems they are solving and a number of "no free lunch" (NFL) theorems are presented which establish that for any algorithm, any elevated performance over one class of problems is offset by performance over another class.

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.
