Firefly Algorithm, Lévy Flights and Global Optimization
نویسنده
چکیده
Nature-inspired algorithms such as Particle Swarm Optimization and Firefly Algorithm are among the most powerful algorithms for optimization. In this paper, we intend to formulate a new metaheuristic algorithm by combining Lévy flights with the search strategy via the Firefly Algorithm. Numerical studies and results suggest that the proposed Lévy-flight firefly algorithm is superior to existing metaheuristic algorithms. Finally implications for further research and wider applications will be discussed.

Cuckoo search via Lévy flights for the capacitated vehicle routing problem
For this paper, we explored the implementation of the cuckoo search algorithm applied to the capacitated vehicle routing problem. The cuckoo search algorithm was implemented with Lévy flights with the 2-opt and double-bridge operations, and with 500 iterations for each run. The algorithm was tested on the problem instances from the Augerat benchmark dataset. The algorithm did not perform well o...
متن کاملGlobal optimization using Lévy flights
This paper studies a class of enhanced diffusion processes in which random walkers perform Lévy flights and apply it for global optimization. Lévy flights offer controlled balance between exploitation and exploration. We develop four optimization algorithms based on such properties. We compare new algorithms with the well-known Simulated Annealing on hard test functions and the results are very...
متن کاملEagle Strategy Using Lévy Walk and Firefly Algorithms for Stochastic Optimization
Most global optimization problems are nonlinear and thus difficult to solve, and they become even more challenging when uncertainties are present in objective functions and constraints. This paper provides a new two-stage hybrid search method, called Eagle Strategy, for stochastic optimization. This strategy intends to combine the random search using Lévy walk with the firefly algorithm in an i...
متن کاملLévy flights as an underlying mechanism for global optimization algorithms
In this paper we propose and advocate the use of the so called Lévy flights as a driving mechanism for a class of stochastic optimization computations. This proposal, for some reasons overlooked until now, is – in author’s opinion – very appropriate to satisfy the need for algorithm, which is capable of generating trial steps of very different length in the search space. The required balance be...

Advanced data mining techniques are potential tools for solving civil engineering (CE) problems. This study proposes a novel smart artificial firefly colony algorithm-based support vector regression (SAFCA-SVR) system that integrates firefly algorithm (FA), chaotic maps, adaptive inertia weight, Lévy flight, and least squares support vector regression (LS-SVR). First, adaptive approach and rand...
