Firefly Algorithm: Part 2 -- Algorithm explained

Updated: Feb 24

It is convenient to explain the algorithm from the pseudo code. Considering the algorithm of Firely as given in Yang (2008).


Randomly generate n firefly populations

for k = 1: max_iterations

      Initially, compute light intensity I (brightness) for each firefly

For i = 1: n

for j = 1:n (inner loop)

% update intensity for each firefly

if(Ii < Ij), then move firefly i towards j

end

end

rank the fireflies and find the best global g (store the best solution for each iteration)

end


The following diagram explains the algorithm:
