Firefly Algorithm, Stochastic Test Functions and Design Optimisation [PDF]
Modern optimisation algorithms are often metaheuristic, and they are very promising in solving NP-hard optimization problems. In this paper, we show how to use the recently developed Firefly Algorithm to solve nonlinear design problems.
