I just started to learn FireFly algorithm and seems like I still have difficulty understanding on the said algorithm.
Firefly Algorithm (FA) is a metaheuristic algorithm for global optimization, which is inspired by flashing behavior of firefly insects. This algorithm is proposed by Xin-She Yang in 2008. Fireflies use the flashing behavior to attract other fireflies, usually for sending signals to opposite sex. However, in the mathematical model, used inside Firefly Algorithm, simply the fireflies are unisex, and any firefly can attract other fireflies.
Attractiveness of a firefly is proportional to its brightness and for any couple of fireflies, the brighter one will attract the other; so the less bright one is moved towards the brighter one. This is performed for any binary combination of fireflies in the population, on every iteration of algorithm. For more information, you can refer to the related article on Wikipedia, here.
In this post, we are going to share with you, the open-source MATLAB implementation of Firefly Algorithm (FA), which is easy to use within your research and projects, if you are familiar with MATLAB programming language.
