Novel derivative of harmony search algorithm for discrete design variables

Calculus has widespread applications in science and engineering. Optimization is one of its major subjects, where a problem can be mathematically formulated and its optimal solution is determined by using derivatives. However, this calculus-based derivative technique can only be applied to real-valu...
