Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Firefly algorithm is one of Metaheuristic optimization algorithms, it is inspired by the flashing and attracting behavior of fireflies. In this article, we consider a deterministic firefly algorithm to analyze the dynamics rigorously. The state update equation of the deterministic firefly algorithm contains two important parameters; β0 and γ. We analyze the impact of the solution search of these parameters. Based on the analysis result, we propose a modified firefly algorithm to improve the solution search performance. We confirm the solution search performance by using well-known benchmark functions.
