Cluster-structured Firefly Algorithm for Superior Solution Set Search Problem

Abstract

A new cluster-structured Firefly Algorithm for a superior solution set search problem for single-objective optimizations is proposed in this letter. After a swarm of Firefly is divided into some sub-swarms (clusters), interactions between sub-swarms are added so as to improve the search ability of Firefly Algorithm. The advantage of the proposed cluster-structured Firefly Algorithm is demonstrated through some numerical simulations.
