Imperialist Competitive Algorithm

In this chapter, we present a new optimization algorithm called imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA) which is inspired by the human socio-political evolution process. We first describe the general knowledge of the imperialism in Sect. 15.1. Then, the fundamentals and performance of ICA are introduced in Sect. 15.2. Finally, Sect. 15.3 summarises this chapter.
