Moth-flame Optimization (MFO) Algorithm

MFO is a novel meta-heuristic algorithm for solving optimization problems

The main inspiration of this optimizer is the navigation method of moths in nature called transverse orientation. Moths fly in night by maintaining a fixed angle with respect to the moon, a very effective mechanism for travelling in a straight line for long distances. However, these fancy insects are trapped in a useless/deadly spiral path around artificial lights. The MFO algorithm mathematically models this behaviour to perform optimization.
