The document summarizes the Cuckoo Search algorithm, which is inspired by the brood parasitism behavior of some cuckoo species. It describes three key aspects of cuckoos' behavior that the algorithm is based on: 1) cuckoos lay their eggs in other birds' nests; 2) if the host bird discovers the foreign egg, it will throw it out or abandon the nest; 3) cuckoo eggs often hatch slightly earlier, allowing the cuckoo chick to evict the other eggs. The algorithm represents each solution as an "egg" in a nest - the aim is to use new solutions to replace inferior solutions. It operates according to three rules: each cuckoo lays one egg, the
