Abstract

Till now many optimization algorithms are available for solving complex problems. The algorithm that has created an impact is the numerical function optimization. Some of the existing optimization algorithms are classified into evolutionary computing and metaheuristic methods. A comprehensive survey on numerical function optimization is presented below with a deeper view into different aspects of the algorithms.
