Firework algorithm dynamics simulated and analyzed with the aid of complex network

Abstract

In this paper, we are presenting a visualization of Firework Algorithm (FWA) inner dynamics as an evolving complex network. Recent research in unconventional controlling and simulation of metaheuristic dynamics shows that this kind of visualization technique has been utilized only for algorithms with some social communication or behavior leading to sharing information across the population. Our simulation experiment presents the original approach for analyzing the complex dynamics of an algorithm based mostly on random/local search engines. Provided analysis suggests that the built network can be used for identification of test function surfaces types. © ECMS Zita Zoltay Paprika, Péter Horák, Kata Váradi,Péter Tamás Zwierczyk, Ágnes Vidovics-Dancs, János Péter Rádics (Editors).
