Abstract
A recently proposed swarm inspired optimization algorithm based on the navigation approach of Moths in space entitle as Moth-Flame Optimization (MFO) algorithm, is used for solve equality and inequality constrained optimization, real challenging layout problems. The navigating strategy of moths in universe entitles transverse orientation, a well active mechanism for travel so far distance in the straight direction. In fact, artificial lights trick moths, so they follow a deadly spiral path. MFO algorithm gives the competitive results with both continuous and discrete control variables. Real Challenging Constrained Optimization is a way of optimising an objective function in presence of constraints on some control variables. MFO have an ability to solve both constraints that may be either hard constrained or soft constrained. A statical representation of MFO algorithm expresses the best objective function value with reference to accuracy and standard deviation over recently proposed and most popular optimization algorithms. Fourteen constrained benchmark function of real engineering problems have been calculated and gained solutions were compared with the solution obtained by various recognized algorithms. The results obtained through MFO algorithm represent better solutions in the field of engineering design problems among many recently developed algorithms.
