Abstract

Firefly algorithm is a nature-inspired, which has shown an effective performance on many optimization problems. However, it may suffer from premature convergence and trap in local optimum easily on many optimization problems. Therefore, we propose a new FA variant, called LRRSFA, which aims to solve the problem of premature convergence and local optimum. LRFA mainly has three changed points. First, the fixed original attractiveness is replaced by random variable attractiveness. Second, it is neighborhood search of global optimal particle. Third, some particle move towards given particles which are chosen while initialing population in specific condition. Results tested on eleven standard benchmark function are better than standard firefly algorithm.
