Abstract |
|
|
| Flower pollination algorithm is a new nature-inspired algorithm, based on the characteristics of flowering plants. In this paper,
a new method is developed based on the Flower Pollination Algorithm combined with Chaos Theory (IFPCH) to solve Ratios
Optimization Problems (ROPs). The proposed algorithm is tested using several ROP benchmark. The test aims to prove the capability of
the IFPCH to solve any type of ROPs. The solution results employing the IFPCH algorithm are compared with a number of exact and
metaheuristic solution methods used for handling ROPs. Numerical examples are given to show the feasibility, effectiveness, and
robustness of the proposed algorithm. The results obtained using IFPCH revealed the superiority of the proposed technique among others
in computational time. |
