Firefly Algorithm with fireflies having quantum behavior
A. Manju, M. J. Nigam · 2012
Firefly Algorithm (FA), a population based algorithm has been found superior over other algorithms in solving optimization problems. In this paper we intend to formulate a quantum Delta potential well model for FA. The fireflies are placed in an exponent atmosphere where the extinction coefficient varies with distance between the fireflies and a global updation operator with weighting function was employed. Testing the algorithm on various Benchmark functions has proven its superiority.
