Abstract

This chapter is designed to describe the flower pollination algorithm (FPA) which is a new metaheuristic algorithm. First, the FPA applications in different problems are summarized. Then, the natural pollination process and the flower pollination algorithm are described. Finally, a pseudocode of the FPA is presented.
