Algorithm A1 Basic working of the cuckoo search 7algorithm. |
Objective function Initial a population of n host nests While (t<MaxGeneration) or (stop criterion); Get a cuckoo (say i) randomly by Lévy flights; Evaluate its quality/fitness Choose a nest among n (say j) randomly; Replace j by the new solution; end Abandon a fraction ( of worse nests [and build new ones at new locations via Lévy flights]; Keep the best solutions (or nests with quality solutions); Rank the solutions and find the current best; end while postprocess results and visualization; |
