Handbook of Moth-Flame Optimization Algorithm : Variants, Hybrids, Improvements, and Applications

Moth-Flame Optimization algorithm is an emerging meta-heuristic and has been widely used in both science and industry. Solving optimization problem using this algorithm requires addressing a number of challenges, including multiple objectives, constraints, binary decision variables, large-scale search space, dynamic objective function, and noisy parameters.

provides an in-depth analysis of this algorithm and the existing methods in the literature to cope with such challenges.

Key Features:

• Reviews the literature of the Moth-Flame Optimization algorithm
• Provides an in-depth analysis of equations, mathematical models, and mechanisms of the Moth-Flame Optimization algorithm
• Proposes different variants of the Moth-Flame Optimization algorithm to solve binary, multi-objective, noisy, dynamic, and combinatorial optimization problems
• Demonstrates how to design, develop, and test different hybrids of Moth-Flame Optimization algorithm
• Introduces several applications areas of the Moth-Flame Optimization algorithm
