Résumé	The Bat Algorithm (BA) is a nature-inspired metaheuristic optimization method proposed by Xin-She Yang in 2010. It mimics the echolocation behavior of microbats to balance global exploration and local exploitation. Each artificial bat adjusts its position, velocity, and emission frequency, with loudness and pulse rate dynamically controlling the transition from broad search to refined local tuning. BA is suited to continuous and combinatorial optimization problems across engineering, scheduling, and machine learning domains.	Cuckoo Search (CS) is a population-based metaheuristic optimization algorithm introduced by Xin-She Yang and Suash Deb in 2009. It models the obligate brood-parasitism of cuckoo birds — which lay eggs in other birds' nests — combined with Lévy flight random walks that enable long-range exploration of the search space. The algorithm has proven effective in structural engineering design, machine learning hyperparameter tuning, and other continuous black-box optimization problems.	The Firefly Algorithm (FA), introduced by Xin-She Yang in 2008 and formally published in 2010, is a nature-inspired swarm metaheuristic that models the bioluminescent attraction behaviour of fireflies. Each candidate solution is a firefly whose brightness represents its objective-function value; dimmer fireflies move toward brighter ones with an attraction force that decays with distance, driving the swarm toward optima without gradient information.
