L Chen · Jisuanji yingyong yanjiu · 2014
This paper proposed an effective modified cuckoo search( MCS) algorithm based on stochastic local search method to solve engineering structural design optimization problems. The algorithm used the inertia weight to balance the exploration and exploitation ability of algorithm. And it introduced the stochastic local search technique to improve the convergence speed of CS algorithm. The proposed algorithm was applied to solve two engineering structural design optimization problems. The result shows that MCS is of better or competitive performances when it compares with other existing optimization methods.
