In this paper, a modified flower pollination algorithm (MFPA) is proposed to improve the performance of the classical algorithm and to tackle the nonlinear equation systems widely used in engineering and science fields. In addition, the differential evolution (DE) is integrated with MFPA to strengthen its exploration operator in a new variant called HFPA. Those two algorithms were assessed using 23 well-known mathematical unimodal and multimodal test functions and 27 well-known nonlinear equation systems, and the obtained outcomes were extensively compared with those of eight well-known metaheuristic algorithms under various statistical analyses and the convergence curve. The experimental findings show that both MFPA and HFPA are competitive together and, compared to the others, they could be superior and competitive for most test cases.

This paper presents an efficient approach to design wideband, accurate, stable, and minimum-phase fractional-order digital differentiators (FODDs) in terms of the infinite impulse response (IIR) filters using an evolutionary optimization technique called flower pollination algorithm (FPA). The efficiency comparisons of FPA with real-coded genetic algorithm (RGA), particle swarm optimization (PSO), and differential evolution (DE)-based designs are conducted with respect to different magnitude and phase response error metrics, parametric and nonparametric statistical hypotheses tests, computational time, and fitness convergence. Exhaustive simulation results clearly demonstrate that FPA significantly outperforms RGA, PSO, and DE in attaining the best solution quality consistently. Extensive analysis is also conducted in order to determine the role of control parameters of FPA on the performance of the designed FODDs. The proposed FPA-based FODDs outperform all the designs published in the recent literature with respect to the magnitude responses and also achieve a competitive performance in terms of the phase response.
