Firefly Algorithms
Abstract
Firefly algorithms (FA) appeared about five years ago, in 2008, and the literature has expanded dramatically with diverse applications. In this chapter, we introduce the standard firefly algorithm, then briefly review the variants, together with a selection of recent publications. We also analyze the characteristics of FA and try to answer the question of why FA is so efficient.
