Solving systems of nonlinear equations via conjugate direction flower pollination algorithm (Q2224183)

Summary: In this paper, we propose a new hybrid algorithm for solving system of nonlinear equations. The aim of hybridisation is to utilise the feature of flower pollination algorithm (FPA) and conjugate direction method (CD). Conjugate direction flower pollination algorithm (CDFPA) combines the advantages of CD and FPA. The problem of solving nonlinear equations is equivalently changed to the problem of function optimisation and then a solution is obtained by CDFPA. The results show the proposed algorithm has high convergence speed and accuracy for solving nonlinear equations.
