ABSTRACT
Grey Wolf Optimizer is an Evolutionary Optimization Algorithm based on the hunting strategy of the grey wolves. The wolves track, pursue and attack their prey. In the process of hunting, the pack is led by the alpha wolves. The pack follows a strict hierarchy and the wolves are categorized as alpha, beta, delta and omega. 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 following sections 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 contains a total of 4 figures and 35 tables for a comprehensive presentation of the optimization method.
