Summary
Metaheuristic optimization deals with optimization problems using metaheuristic algorithms to solve a single objective, and sometimes, optimal solutions may not exist. Finding an optimal solution or even sub-optimal solutions is not an easy task. Most optimizations problems are highly nonlinear, multimodal, and complex constraints or have features that make them hard to be solved with exact techniques.
This special issue covers a wide variety of topics concerning
metaheuristics for real-world optimization problems in different areas: manufacturing, renewable energy, image processing, finance, physics, economics, artificial intelligence, etc.
