Abstract

Numerous meta-heuristic algorithms have been influenced by nature. Over the past couple of decades, their quantity has been significantly escalating. The majority of these algorithms attempt to emulate natural biological and physical phenomena. This research concentrates on the Flower Pollination algorithm, which is one of several bio-inspired algorithms. The original approach was suggested for pollen grain exploration and exploitation in confined space using a specific global pollination and local pollination strategy. As a “swarm intelligence" meta-heuristic algorithm, its strength lies in locating the vicinity of the optimum solution rather than identifying the minimum. A modification to the original method is detailed in this work. This research found that by changing the specific value of “switch probability" with dynamic values of different dimension sizes and functions, the outcome was mainly improved over the original flower pollination method.
