Other Algorithms and Hybrid Algorithms

Abstract

Nature-inspired algorithms have attracted much attention in recent years, and there are more than 40 different algorithms with more than 100 variants. This chapter briefly outlines a few other classes of optimization algorithms such as harmony search. Hybrid algorithms are also discussed and further research topics are highlighted.
