This paper presents a literature review on applications of Levy flight. Nowadays, Levy flight laws has been used for a broad class of processes such as in physical, chemical, biological, statistical and also in financial. From the review, Levy flight technique has been applied mostly in physics area where the researchers use Levy flight technique to solve and optimize the problem regarding diffusive, scaling and transmission. This paper also reviews the latest researches using modified Levy flight technique such as truncated, smoothly truncated and gradually truncated Levy Flight for optimization. Finally, future trends of Levy flight are discussed.
