Flower pollination algorithm with pollinator attraction [PDF]
Evolutionary Intelligence, 2022 The Flower Pollination Algorithm (FPA) is a highly efficient optimization algorithm that is inspired by the evolution process of flowering plants. In the present study, a modified version of FPA is proposed accounting for an additional feature of flower pollination in nature that is the so-called pollinator attraction.
