  • Abstract

    Generally, Metaheuristic algorithms such as ant colony optimization, Elephant herding algorithm, particle swarm optimization, bat algorithms becomes a powerful methods for solving optimization problems. This paper provides a timely review of the bat algorithm and its new variants.

    Bat algorithm (BA) is a Swarm based metaheuristic algorithm developed in 2010 by Xin-She Yang, BA has been inspired by the foraging behavior of micro bats, algorithm carries out the search process using artiï¬cial bats as search agents mimicking the natural pulse loudness and emission rate of real bats. It has become a powerful swarm intelligence method for solving optimization prob-lems over continuous and discrete spaces. Nowadays, it has been successfully applied to solve problems in almost all areas of opti-mization, and it found to be very efficient. As a result, the literature has expanded significantly, a wide range of diverse applications and case studies has been made base on the bat algorithm.
