following properties: following expression:

1. Each cluster should have at least one data vector , = ( − ) ∗ (0, 1) + (8)
assigned i.e.,

variable. (0, 1) is the random variable drawn from the uniform
2. Two different clusters should have no data vector in
common i.e., distribution. But, this exploration ability of the CS algorithm

nests is abandoned.
3. Each data vector should definitely be attached to a
cluster i.e. Pseudo Code of the traditional CS is given as Algorithm 1.

Step-1: Take objective function and generate initial
Cuckoo search (CS) algorithm is a powerful
optimization algorithm proposed by Xin-she Yang and Suash Deb population of solution randomly using Eq.8.

A solution in the original cuckoo search algorithm corresponding Step-3: for =1 to Do
to cuckoo nests represents the position of the cuckoo egg within
the search space. Mathematically, this position is defined as: Step-4: Generate new solutions around with Lévy
