Firefly algorithm is a swarm based algorithm that can be used for solving optimization problems. This paper proposed an improved fuzzy adaptive firefly algorithm (FAFA). In the proposed FAFA, a fuzzy system is used to adapt Firefly Algorithm’s parameters in order to improve its ability in global and local searches. Also, we used different fireflies initializing intervals and different iteration numbers to show the algorithm capability to find global optima. Results focus on the two case study categories of function optimization (seven benchmark functions) and presented a novel optimal multilevel thresholding approach for histogram-based image segmentation by using proposed FAFA and Otsu method. Evidence indicates that the optimization results of proposed FAFA approach are so better than the standard FA.

This paper is concerned with learning and optimization of different basis function networks in the aspect of structure adaptation and parameter tuning. Basis function networks include the Volterra polynomial, Gaussian radial, B-spline, fuzzy, recurrent fuzzy, and local Gaussian basis function networks. Based on creation and evolution of the type constrained sparse tree, a unified framework is constructed, in which structure adaptation and parameter adjustment of different basis function networks are addressed using a hybrid learning algorithm combining a modified probabilistic incremental program evolution (MPIPE) and random search algorithm. Simulation results for the identification of nonlinear systems show the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method.

The paper presents a multi-objective derivative-free and deterministic global/local hybrid algorithm for the efficient and effective solution of simulation-based design optimization (SBDO) problems. The objective is to show how the hybridization of two multi-objective derivative-free global and local algorithms achieves better performance than the separate use of the two algorithms in solving specific SBDO problems for hull-form design. The proposed method belongs to the class of memetic algorithms, where the global exploration capability of multi-objective deterministic particle swarm optimization is enriched by exploiting the local search accuracy of a derivative-free multi-objective line-search method. To the authors best knowledge, studies are still limited on memetic, multi-objective, deterministic, derivative-free, and evolutionary algorithms for an effective and efficient solution of SBDO for hull-form design. The proposed formulation manages global and local searches based on the hypervolume metric. The hybridization scheme uses two parameters to control the local search activation and the number of function calls used by the local algorithm. The most promising values of these parameters were identified using forty analytical tests representative of the SBDO problem of interest. The resulting hybrid algorithm was finally applied to two SBDO problems for hull-form design. For both analytical tests and SBDO problems, the hybrid method achieves better performance than its global and local counterparts.
