An Overview of Few Nature Inspired Optimization Techniques and Its Reliability Applications

Abstract

Optimization has been a hot topic due to its inevitably in the development of new algorithms in almost every applied branch of Mathematics. Despite the broadness of optimization techniques in research fields, there is always an open scope of further refinement. We present here an overview of nature-inspired optimization with a subtle background of fundamentals and classification and their reliability applications. An attempt has been made to exhibit the contrast nature of multi objective optimization as compared to single objective optimization. Though there are various techniques to achieve the optimality in optimization problems but nature inspired algorithms have proved to be very efficient and gained special attention in modern research problems. The purpose of this article is to furnish the foundation of few nature inspired optimization techniques and their reliability applications to an interested researcher.
