Heuristic-Based Firefly Algorithm for Bound Constrained Nonlinear Binary Optimization

Firefly algorithm (FA) is a metaheuristic for global optimization. In this paper, we address the practical testing of a heuristic-based FA (HBFA) for computing optima of discrete nonlinear optimization problems, where the discrete variables are of binary type. An important issue in FA is the formula...
