Abstract

The Minimum Dominating Sets (MDS) problem is pivotal across diverse fields like social networks and ad hoc wireless networks, representing a significant NP-complete challenge in graph theory. To tackle this, we propose a novel hybrid cuckoo search approach. While cuckoo search is renowned for its wide search space exploration, we enhance it with intensification methods and genetic crossover operators for improved performance. Comprehensive experimental evaluations against state-of-the-art techniques validate our approach's effectiveness.
