Algorithm 1

The Pseudo-code of Cuckoo Optimization Algorithm.

	Start Function objective f (x), x = (x1), x2, …, XD) T;
Initial host nest population xi, I = 1, 2, …, n)
Duration or stop criterium (t < max generation)
Get a cuckoo to Levy Flights by random means;
Analyze Fi fitness
Select a nest randomly between n (say j)
If (Fi > Fj)
Substitute j for the current result
Finish If
A fraction of the worst nests is deserted and new nests are created
Maintain the right options (or quality solutions nests)
Grading the solution and finding the right solution
End for
Posting and visualizing outcomes of processes
