The firefly algorithm is a swarm intelligence-based algorithm, and its nonlinearity in search mechanisms can usually lead to subdivision and multiswarms, which means that it can be potentially more effective than single-swarm algorithms. This chapter introduces the main ideas of the firefly algorithm, followed by the introduction of the flower pollination algorithm. Both implementation details and examples will be presented to show how these algorithms work. Suggestions on modifications and multiobjective optimization will also be discussed.
