Recently, various Artificial Intelligence (AI) based optimization metaheuristics are proposed and applied for a variety of problems. Cohort Intelligence (CI) algorithm is a socio inspired optimization technique which is successfully applied for solving several unconstrained & constrained real-world problems from the domains such as design, manufacturing, supply chain, healthcare, etc. Generally, real-world problems are constrained in nature. Even though most of the Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) can efficiently…
