Firefly Algorithm: Part II

This is an example code of Firefly algorithm to solve optimization problem.

It is convenient to explain the algorithm from the pseudo code. Considering the pseudo code of Firefly algorithm 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( < ), 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
