In this paper, we present a new hybrid algorithm which is a combination of a hybrid Cuckoo search algorithm and Firefly optimization. We focus in this research on a hybrid method
combining two heuristic optimization techniques, Cuckoo Search (CS) and Firefly Algorithm
(FA) for the global optimization. Denoted as CS-FA. The hybrid CS-FA technique
incorporates concepts from CS and FA and creates individuals in a new generation not only by random walk as found in CS but also by mechanisms of FA. To analyze the benefits of hybridization, we have comparatively evaluated the classical Cuckoo Search and Firefly Algorithms versus the proposed hybridized algorithms (CS-FA).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
