The Standard Flower Pollination Algorithm (FPA)

This demo shows how the flower pollination algorithm works.

You are now following this Submission

The standard flower pollination algorithm (FPA) is inspired by the pollination characteristics of flowering plants. This demo solves the Ackley function of D=10 dimensions. It is straightforward to extend it to solve other functions and optimization problems. The details can be found in the book: Xin-She Yang, Nature-Inspired Optimization Algorithms, Elsevier Insights, (2014).
