Abstract
In this chapter, we introduce a new deterministic multi-dimensional search algorithm called central force optimization (CFO), which is based on the metaphor of gravitational kinematics. We first, in Sect. 19.1, describe the general knowledge of the gravitational force. Then, in Sect. 19.2, the fundamentals and performance of CFO are detailed. Finally, Sect. 19.3 draws the conclusions of this chapter.
