Abstract

Modern engineering and scientific optimisation problems are becoming complicated. In order to cope with the increasing level of difficulty of these problems, optimisation methods are required to find more than one solution to these problems. The aim of this paper is to gain an insight into the ability of cuckoo search to locate more than one solution for multimodal problems. We also study the performance of this algorithm in the additive white Gaussian noise. Numerical results are presented to show that the cuckoo search algorithm can successfully locate multiple solutions in both non-noise and additive white Gaussian noise with relatively high degree of accuracy.
