Cuckoo search
Cuckoo search (CS) is an optimization algorithm developed by Xin-She Yang and Suash Deb in 2009.
The pseudo-code can be summarized as:
Objective function:
Generate an initial population of n host nests;
While (t<MaxGeneration) or (stop criterion)
Get a cuckoo randomly (say, i) and replace its solution by performing Lévy flights;
Evaluate its quality/fitness Fi
[For maximization, ];
Choose a nest among n (say, j) randomly;
if (Fi > Fj),
Replace j by the new solution;
end if
A fraction (pa) of the worse nests are abandoned and new ones are built;
Keep the best solutions/nests;
Rank the solutions/nests and find the current best;
Pass the current best to the next generation;
end while
