FDB-LFD (Improved Lévy Flight Distribution Algorithm)

Improved Lévy Flight Distribution Algorithm with FDB-Based Guiding Mechanism

In the proposed algorithm, the Fitness-Distance Balance (FDB) selection method was used to determine the search agents that well know the migration routes and guide the herd. Thus, the FDB-LFD algorithm, which has a much stronger search performance, was developed. The performance of the proposed algorithm was tested and verified on CEC17 and CEC20 benchmark problems for low-, middle- and high-dimensional search spaces. Results of the FDB-LFD was compared to the performance of 11 other powerful and up-to-date metaheuristic search algorithms. According to Friedman statistical test results, the proposed FDB-LFD algorithm ranked first, whereas the LFD was ranked eleventh. This result demonstrated that the changes in the design of the LFD algorithm had been successful.
