In this paper, a novel firefly algorithm (FA) is presented to reduce the dependency on parameters. The new FA algorithm is called dynamic step factor based FA (DSFFA), in which the step factor is not fixed and it is dynamically updated during the evolution. Experimental study on several classical benchmark functions show that DSFFA is superior to the basic FA and three other FAs.
