In the mid-1980s, several metaheuristic methods began to be developed for solving a very large class of computational problems with the aim of obtaining more robust and efficient procedures. Among them, many metaheuristic methods use bio-inspired intelligent algorithms. In recent years, these methods are becoming increasingly important and they can be used in various subject areas for solving complex problems. firefly algorithm is a nature-inspired optimization algorithm proposed by Yang to solve multimodal optimization problems. In particular, the method is inspired by the nature of fireflies to emit a light signal to attract other individuals of this species. In this work, a numerical study for solving a structural problem using the firefly algorithm as optimization method is conducted. In particular, the implementation of the firefly algorithm in several input files realized in the ANSYS Parametric Design Language has allowed the definition of the optimal stacking sequence and the laminate thickness of a composite gear housing used to enclose the components of a mechanical reducer.

Image segmentation is a fundamental step for image processing of medical images. One of the most important tasks in this step is border reconstruction, which consists of constructing a border curve separating the organ or tissue of interest from the image background. This problem can be formulated as an optimization problem, where the border curve is computed through data fitting procedures from a collection of data points assumed to lie on the boundary of the object under analysis. However, standard mathematical optimization techniques do not provide satisfactory solutions to this problem. Some recent papers have applied evolutionary computation techniques to tackle this issue. Such works are only focused on the polynomial case, ignoring the more powerful (but also more difficult) case of rational curves. In this paper, we address this problem with rational Bezier curves by applying the firefly algorithm, a popular bio-inspired swarm intelligence technique for optimization. Experimental results on medical images of melanomas show that this method performs well and can be successfully applied to this problem.

A firefly algorithm (FA) based parameter optimization method for extreme learning machine (ELM) for hyperspectral image classification is proposed. The parameters of regularization coefficient and Gaussian kernel are optimized by firefly algorithm in this method. The experimental results show that the FA-based optimization algorithm can provide the better performance of extreme learning machines for hyperspectral image classification, and it outperforms the popular particle swarm optimization (PSO), genetic algorithm (GA) method.

firefly algorithm is a new heuristic intelligent optimization algorithm and has excellent performance in many optimization problems. However, in the face of some multimodal and high-dimensional problems, the algorithm is easy to fall into the local optimum. In order to avoid this phenomenon, this paper proposed an improved firefly algorithm with proportional adjustment strategy for alpha and beta. Thirteen well-known benchmark functions are used to verify the performance of our proposed algorithm, the computational results show that our proposed algorithm is more efficient than many other FA algorithms.

The safety hazards existing in the process of disassembling waste products pose potential harms to the physical and mental health of the workers. In this article, these hazards involved in the disassembly operations are evaluated and taken into consideration in a disassembly line balancing problem. A multi-objective mathematical model is constructed to minimise the number of workstations, maximise the smoothing rate and minimise the average maximum hazard involved in the disassembly line. Subsequently, a Pareto firefly algorithm is proposed to solve the problem. The random key encoding method based on the smallest position rule is used to adapt the firefly algorithm to tackle the discrete optimisation problem of the disassembly line balancing. To avoid the search being trapped in a local optimum, a random perturbation strategy based on a swap operation is performed on the non-inferior solutions. The validity of the proposed algorithm is tested by comparing with two other algorithms in the existing literature using a 25-task phone disassembly case. Finally, the proposed algorithm is applied to solve a refrigerator disassembly line problem based on the field investigation and a comparison of the proposed Pareto firefly algorithm with another multi-objective firefly algorithm in the existing literature is performed to further identify the superior performance of the proposed Pareto firefly algorithm, and eight Pareto optimal solutions are obtained for decision makers to make a decision.

We analyzed the search characteristics of firefly algorithm (FA), which has a fundamental nature of a Superior Solution Set Search Problem, previously defined in our previous study for single-objective optimization problems. In this study, we proposed a new FA method based on the former problem. This method, which employs cluster information by K-means clustering, is tested for performance by fundamental numerical experiments.
