Solving Fredholm Integral Equations of the Second Kind Using an Improved Cuckoo Optimization Algorithm

In this paper, we propose an improved cuckoo optimization algorithm (ICOA) to determine unknown function u(x) in the Fredholm integral equations of the second kind. To show utility and capability of the ICOA, we solve some Fredholm integral equations of the second kind using the ICOA and Adomian decomposition method and compare results each other. Also, by using the parallelization technique the running time of the algorithm was reduced significantly. Results obtained by implementing the ICOA on a computer with 2.2 GHz CPU and 14Gb RAM.
