FFFA: A Nature-Inspired Single Solution Optimization Algorithm

FFFA: Foxes and Fireflies Foraging Algorithm

FFFA is a nature-inspired single-solution optimization algorithm that mimics the foraging behavior of foxes and fireflies.
It is designed for solving path optimization problems (e.g., shortest path, graph-based problems) where a weight matrix is provided as input.

Installation

You can install FFFA directly from PyPI (after publishing):

pip install fffa

Usage Example

from fffa import fff

Example weighted adjacency matrix

weight_matrix = [
    [0, 2, 9, 0],
    [1, 0, 6, 4],
    [0, 7, 0, 8],
    [6, 3, 0, 0]
]

best_path, best_cost = fff(weight_matrix)

print("Best Path:", best_path)
print("Best Cost:", best_cost)

Features

Nature-inspired single-solution optimization algorithm

Works with any weighted adjacency matrix

Simple API with minimal dependencies
