A cuckoo search algorithm with scale-free population topology

作者：

Highlights：

• A modified cuckoo search algorithm with scale-free population topology (SFCS) is proposed.

• Extensive performance comparison with other state-of-the-art algorithms is implemented.

• The time complexity of the proposed algorithm is presented.

• The performance of the algorithm on various real-world optimization problems is verified.
