Fireworks algorithm with differential mutation for solving the CEC 2014 competition problems

The idea of fireworks algorithm (FWA) is inspired by the fireworks explosion in the sky at night. When a firework explodes, a shower of sparks appear around it. In this way, the adjacent area of the firework is searched. By controlling the amplitude of the explosion, the ability of local search for FWA is guaranteed. The way of fireworks algorithm searching the surrounding area can be further improved by differential mutation operator, forming an algorithm called FWA-DM. In this paper, the benchmark suite in the competition of congress of evolutionary computation (CEC) 2014 is used to test the performance of FWA-DM.
