Abstract -
An algorithm called ACO-FA is proposed which incorporates concepts from ant colony optimization (ACO) and firefly algorithm (FA). The methodology of the proposed algorithm is introduced based on a refining mechanism of ACO and FA for updating the solutions of ACO-FA. Moreover, the evolutions of these solutions are performed by using feasibility rule that maintain the solutions with lower degrees of constraint violations. The proposed algorithm ACO-FA is tested on several benchmark functions. Numerical comparisons with different hybrid meta-heuristics demonstrate its effectiveness and efficiency.
