Applications of Cuckoo Search Algorithm and its Variants

This book highlights the basic concepts of the CS algorithm and its variants, and their use in solving diverse optimization problems in medical and engineering applications. Evolutionary-based meta-heuristic approaches are increasingly being applied to solve complicated optimization problems in several real-world applications. One of the most successful optimization algorithms is the Cuckoo search (CS), which has become an active research area to solve N-dimensional and linear/nonlinear optimization problems using simple mathematical processes. CS has attracted the attention of various researchers, resulting in the emergence of numerous variants of the basic CS with enhanced performance since 2019.

Discusses solutions to complicated optimization problems in several real-world applications Highlights the basic concepts of the CS algorithm and its variants Serves as a reference for researchers and practitioners in academia and industry
