Introduction

In optimization of a design, the design objective could be simply to minimize the cost of production or to maximize the efficiency of production. An optimization algorithm is a procedure which is executed iteratively by comparing various solutions till an optimum or a satisfactory solution is found.
With the advent of computers, optimization has become a part of computer-aided design activities. There are two distinct types of optimization algorithms widely used today.
