110 Cuckoo Search Algorithm
review of the cuckoo search, its variants and applications, please refer to more
advanced literature [5, 10].
The rest of this chapter will first introduce the main steps of the original
cuckoo search, and explain in detail how to carry out Lévy flights and imple-
mentations, followed by the introduction of the demo codes in both Matlab
and C++.

Many cuckoo species engage in aggressive reproduction strategies by laying
eggs in the nests of host species so as to let host species to raise their young
