Firefly Algorithm: Part 3 -- Design Example

Fig.2 Convergence plot (n = 20, maxGen = 20)

This design example shows how the Firefly algorithm can be applied to the gravity wall design. Although this example has only 2 design variables, the same algorithm can be applied to problems with larger dimensions, like structural design problems with multiple components.
