Abstract

In this chapter, we present an interesting algorithm called teaching–learning-based optimization (TLBO) which is inspired by the teaching and learning behaviour. We first describe the general knowledge of the teacher-student relationships in Sect. 16.1. Then, the fundamentals and performance of TLBO algorithm are introduced in Sect. 16.2. Finally, Sect. 16.3 summarises this chapter.
