A Novel Firefly Algorithm of Solving Nonlinear Equation Group

Abstract:

In this paper, according to the characteristics of nonlinear equations. A Novel Firefly Algorithm was used to solve the systems of nonlinear equations, the algorithm was experimented and the experimental results show that the new algorithm to be successful in locating multiple solutions and better accuracy. Simulations and results indicate that the novel firefly algorithm has better feasibility and validity for continuous space optimization and discrete space optimization.
