Firefly algorithm (FA) is a meta-heuristic optimization algorithm inspired by nature. Due to its superior performance, it has been widely used in real life. However, it also has some shortcomings in some optimization cases, such as low solution accuracy and slow solution speed. Therefore, in this pa...
