ABSTRACT
Shuffled Frog Leaping Algorithm has been the recent eye turner in the world of Evolutionary Optimization Algorithms. This method is based on ‘memes’ rather than any frog behavior as may be expected from the name. Frogs only act as hosts for the spread of memes. The method has a complex and distributed search process. The chapter starts with the basic terminology associated with the optimization method. A detailed fundamental concept of the method is discussed in the next section. Algorithm and Pseudocode along with the flowchart is presented in a distributed manner for easy understanding. Lastly an example is solved numerically in a step by step manner up to two iterations for a standard optimization problem. The chapter boasts of 9 figures and 29 tables for an exhaustive description of the optimization method.
