Abstract

This article describes a review of the state of the art of some of the different metaheuristic combinations that exist for solving problems, using two or more methods in combination or hybrid form. There are different nature-inspired or metaheuristic algorithms, which have been classified to solve certain types of problems, although currently, trying to solve problems with a single method has been somewhat neglected, and modifications, hybridizations, among others, have been carried out. Combinations to solve a common problem, provides an opportunity to exploit the methods in different scenarios to be solved, focusing not only on the solution but also on the use of algorithms.
