In mathematical optimization, computer science and operations research, the Mayfly Optimization Algorithm (MA) was developed by Zervoudakis K. and Dr. Tsafarakis S. to address both continuous and discrete optimization problems and is inspired from the flight behavior and the mating process of mayflies. It is a hybrid algorithmic structure of particle swarm optimization, firefly algorithm and genetic algorithm. The processes of nuptial dance and random flight enhance the balance between the algorithm's exploration and exploitation properties and assist its escape from local optima. Its performance is superior to that of other popular metaheuristics like PSO, DE, GA and FA, in terms of convergence rate and convergence speed.^[1]

Introduction[]

The MA was developed to address both single objective and multi objective optimization problems.^[2] Since its first presentation the mayfly optimization algorithm has been used by researchers to address various optimization problems.^{[3][4][5][6][7]}
