New cuckoo search algorithms with enhanced exploration and exploitation properties

作者:

Highlights:

• Two new concepts based on the division of generations and population are proposed.

• Based on these two concepts, three new versions of CS have been proposed.

• Benchmarking of Variants with respect to standard CS.

• Effect of population, dimension and switch probability analyzed.

• Benchmarking and statistical testing of the best variant with respect to state-of-the-art algorithms.
