Firefly Algorithm for Continuous Constrained Optimization Tasks
Abstract. The paper provides an insight into the improved novel metaheuristics of the Firefly Algorithm for constrained continuous optimization tasks. The presented technique is inspired by social behavior of fireflies and the phenomenon of bioluminescent communication. The first part of the paper is devoted to the detailed description of the existing algorithm. Then some suggestions for extending the simple scheme of the technique under consideration are presented. Subsequent sections concentrate on the performed experimental parameter studies and a comparison with existing Particle Swarm Optimization strategy based on existing benchmark instances. Finally some concluding remarks on possible algorithm extensions are given, as well as some properties of the presented approach and comments on its performance in the constrained continuous optimization tasks. Key words: firefly algorithm, constrained continuous optimization, swarm intelligence, metaheuristics
