A Modified Flower Pollination Algorithm forFractional Programming Problems
Journal Title: International Journal of Intelligent Systems and Applications in Engineering - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Flower pollination algorithm is a new nature-inspired algorithm, based on the characteristics of flowering plants. In this paper, a new method is developed chaos-based Flower Pollination Algorithm (CFPA) to solve Fractional Programming Problems (FPPs). The proposed algorithm is tested using several ROP benchmarks. The test aims to prove the capability of the CFPA to solve any type of FPPs. The solution results employing the CFPA algorithm are compared with a number of exact and metaheuristic solution methods used for handling FPPs. Numerical examples are given to show the feasibility, effectiveness, and robustness of the proposed algorithm. The results obtained using CFPA indicated the superiority of the proposed technique among others in computational time.
