Undivided Family Interaction Algorithm (UFIA) – MATLAB Imple

MATLAB implementation of UFIA metaheuristic Social Learning Algorithm

This submission provides a MATLAB implementation of the Undivided Family Interaction Algorithm (UFIA), a population-based metaheuristic optimization technique inspired by social learning behaviour in undivided families.

The algorithm is based on the work:

Basetti, V., Shiva, C. K., Tiwari, S., Karri, R. R., Arya, Y., & Sen, S. (2026). Solving nonlinear engineering problems using UFIA: A social inspired metaheuristic algorithm. Chaos, Solitons & Fractals. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chaos.2026.117876

This implementation follows the mathematical formulation and learning mechanisms described in the original paper.

This code is intended for:

• Benchmark function optimization

• Engineering optimization problems

• Comparative metaheuristic studies

• Educational and research use

NOTE:

This is an independent implementation and is not the official code released by the original authors.
