Books in the Advances in Metaheuristics series

This book provides a wide-ranging reference to the theoretical and mathematical formulations of metaheuristics, including bio-inspired, swarm-based, socio-cultural and physics-based methods or algorithms; their testing and validation, along with detailed illustrative solutions and applications, as well as newly devised metaheuristic algorithms.

Moth-Flame Optimization algorithm is an emerging meta-heuristic published in 2015. This book provides in-depth analysis of this algorithm and the existing methods to cope with challenges. It proposes improvements, variants, and hybrids of this algorithm. Applications are also covered to demonstrate the applicability of methods in this book.
