  abstract = {In the real world scenario we come across the problem of optimization a number of times. Finding the best
solution among the available set of solutions becomes mandatory. A number of numerical techniques are already present
in literature which aims at optimizing the result however, they are not feasible to be used in each type of problem. Hence we
are tending towards evolutionary algorithms which are more powerful tools to fetch the best results without using any set
formulae. A Number of algorithms are already available in literature however they have a problem of getting stuck in local
minima or their time of convergence is too high. In this paper I have implemented Backtracking Search Optimization
Algorithm (BSA). BSA uses two set of populations i.e. old and new which prevents it from getting stuck into local minima.
Its selection, crossover and mutation processes are different from the other methods and it yields the most optimized
solution in lesser time. The claim is supported by the results of its comparison with different techniques and BSA is proved
to give better results and in lesser time.},
