A Novel Hybrid Meta-Heuristic Algorithm Based on the Cross-Entropy Method and Firefly Algorithm for Global Optimization

Global optimization, especially on a large scale, is challenging to solve due to its nonlinearity and multimodality. In this paper, in order to enhance the global searching ability of the firefly algorithm (FA) inspired by bionics, a novel hybrid meta-heuristic algorithm is proposed by embedding the...
