This paper presents the modified firefly algorithm (FA) originally proposed by Yang. fireflyalgorithm is based on the idealized behavior of the flashing characteristics of the fireflies. Though firefly is powerful in local search, it does not search well globally due to being trapped in local optimum. Due to this reason, the convergence is generally slow. The FA also doesn't give efficient solution in high dimensional problems. The proposed approach gives more efficient solution with reduced time complexity in comparison to original FA. Two modifications made are: (I) Opposition-based methodology is deployed where initialization of candidate solutions is done using opposition based learning to improve convergence rate of original FA, which includes initializing the opposite number of positions of each firefly. This also ensures efficient searching of the whole search space, ( 2) The dimensional-based approach is employed in which the position of each firefly is updated along different dimensions. This results in more optimal solution. This algorithm works for High Dimensionality problems, especially in terms of accuracy in finding the best optimal solution and in terms of fast convergence speed as well. Several complex multidimensional standard functions are employed for experimental verification. Experimental results include comparison with other Evolutionary algorithms which show that the Opposition and Dimensional based FA (ODFA) gives more accurate optimal solution with high convergence speed than the original FA and those achieved by existing methods.

This paper intends to provide a modified firefly algorithm based on fireflyalgorithm and improved particle swarm optimization. This fireflyalgorithm is a category of nature-enthused algorithm of swarm intelligence, i. e. depends on the response of a firefly to the light of other fireflies and also perform well on various numerical optimization problems. The modifiedalgorithm uses the improved velocity concept of particle swarm optimization to enhance the searching behavior of standard algorithm. A comparison of the fireflyalgorithm with that of modified firefly algorithm is performed for some standard benchmark functions through simulations. The algorithms are also checked in various standard dimensions for providing effective output. The simulated results prove the superiority of modified firefly algorithm as compared to the traditional fireflyalgorithm in standard benchmark functions and in all dimensions. The results give an idea that the proposed modifiedalgorithm enriches performance of the standard fireflyalgorithm and converges more quickly with less time to produce optimum solution.

Remediation of contaminated sites requires an optimal decision making system to develop remediation techniques in a cost-effective and efficient manner. A coupled simulation-optimization solution approach, based on the finite element method (FEM) and a modified firefly algorithm (MFA), is developed in this study for optimal contaminated groundwater remediation design. A new modifiedfirefly optimization algorithm is proposed by modifying the traditional fireflyalgorithm in three ways: (i) adding memory, (ii) preventing premature convergence to local optima and thus accelerating the optimization process, and (iii) proposing a new updating formula. Modifications performed in the present study improved the applicability and efficiency of the traditional metaheuristic firefly optimization algorithm, and led the MFA to outperform both its predecessor and conventional optimization methods (e.g., genetic algorithm). A hypothetical, unconfined contaminated field is considered and remediated by considering pump and treat and flushing methods. Pumping rates are considered as design variables while the number of pumps and pump locations, as well as the pumping period, are initially assumed. The coupled simulation-optimization model (FEM-MFA) proposed in this study constitutes an effective way to determine an optimal remediation design for a contaminated aquifer. The results of the present investigation will contribute to improve groundwater management in contaminated aquifers.

The parameters of Boric Wen hysteresis model are identified using a modified firefly algorithm. The proposed algorithm uses dynamic process control parameters to improve its performance. The algorithm is used to find the model parameter values that results in the least amount elector between a set of given data points and points obtained from the Bouc-Wen model. The performance of the algorithm is compared with the performance of conventional fireflyalgorithm, Genetic algorithm and Differential Evolution algorithm in terms of convergence rate and accuracy. Compared to the other three optimization algorithms, the proposed algorithm is found to have good convergence rate with high degree of accuracy in identifying Bouc-Wen model parameters. Finally, the proposed method is used to find the Bouc-Wen model parameters from experimental data The obtained model is found to be in good agreement with measured data. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.

Thyroid classification is required in the medical domain to better assist doctors in deciding diagnostic treatments. Although many researchers conducted experiments to detect abnormal conditions of fetal brains in an earlier stage, there exist several limitations like over-fitting problems and imbalance data problems. To deal with these problems, this paper proposes 'Transfer learning- Bidirectional Long Short Term Memory (TL-BiLSTM) which is an efficient thyroid classification model. This paper focuses on identifying the defects in fetal brains in a primary stage by investigating the thyroid range of the mother during the 19th week of pregnancy. In this research, TL is applied with Bi-LSTM for the improvement of Thyroid classification performance. The Transfer learning method selects the optimal batch size for the Bi-LSTM model to eliminate the overfitting problem. The bi-LSTM model learns the sequence in forward and reverses mode to store the useful features for the long term and discard the irrelevant features. The most significant features in the dataset are selected by applying a modified firefly algorithm (MFA). The modified firefly algorithm has the advantages of easy escape from local optima and a good convergence rate. For evaluation purposes, the thyroid dataset is used as input for investigating the proposed classifier's effectiveness. The evaluation results display that the proposed novel approach successfully identifies and classifies thyroid problems using fetal brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images of various Gestational weeks.

In a conventional power system, distribution systems tend to incur higher power losses. However, integrating decentralized sources into power networks not only reduces these losses but also alleviates the strain on primary sources. Since centralized power sources are often situated at a distance, incorporating distributed generations (DGs) closer to load centers offers more efficient system operation. However, the lack of proper sizing alignment among secondary sources could result in operational, financial, and ecological complexities. Selecting optimal DG locations and sizes necessitates intricate computational processes, escalating workload demands. Fortunately, advancements in optimization software have simplified this task. The primary focus of this paper lies in optimizing DG allocation through the application of a fuzzified fireflyalgorithm (FFA). The strategic placement of diverse DG types aims to reduce both real and reactive power losses within the distribution system, followed by an evaluation of system performance indices. The study examines how different types of DGs incorporated into an IEEE-33 bus system elucidate the impact of varying power system loads, spanning from 50 to 150% of their rated value.

effective optimization, metaheuristics should maintain the proper balance between exploration and exploitation. However, the standard fireflyalgorithm (FA) posted some limitations in its exploration process that can eventually lead to premature convergence, affecting its performance and adding uncertainty to the optimization results. To address these constraints, this study introduces an additional novel search mechanism for the standard FA inspired by the behavior of the scout bee in the artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm, termed the "Scouting FA". Specifically, fireflies stuck in the local optima will take directed extra random walks to escape toward the region of the optimum solution, thus improving convergence accuracy. Empirical findings on the five standard benchmark functions have validated the effects of this modification and revealed that Scouting FA is superior to its original version.

This research work tries to investigate the provision of flexibility on both sides of production and demand security constraint unit commitment (SCUC) before the schedule is considered. To this end, a powerful heuristic technique based on modified firefly algorithm (FA) is devised to achieve the optimal solution. Moreover, fast-starting gas units (FGUs) are considered as providers of lateral flexibility as a result of their quickness in starting work and high ramp capability. Considering the fact that the normal operation of units is subject to the supply of reliable gas through connected gas transmission lines, the uncertainty of gas supply in the suggested model is considered to imitate the effects of deviation in the volume of gas over pipelines. The application of the suggested model has been tested on IEEE-118 bus.

详细信息
A modified firefly algorithm (MFO)-based adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) combined with the perturbation and observation (P&O) is used in this paper to track the maximum power point (MPP) in photovoltaic systems (PVs). The proposed method identifies and tracks the MPP in two stages. First, according to the irradiance on the solar panels, the ANFIS approximately identifies the MPP. In the second stage, the P&O method starts to act in the tracking cycle and initiates an accurate searching process from that point. The suggested hybrid method covers the problems of commonly-used methods, such as inability in detecting the global MPP under partial shading conditions (PSCs) and trapping in the local optima. Furthermore, the method provides significantly higher speed for the MPP tracking under various irradiance patterns. To prove the above-mentioned claims, the given approach is compared with the P&O method as a common method in the MPPT and particle swarm optimisation (PSO) which operates based on swarm intelligence. Simulation results obtained from MATLAB/Simulink environment show that the proposed method identifies and tracks the MPP under uniform irradiance and PSCs in a very short time of roughly 0.2?s.
