Key characteristics of BFO
| Feature | BFO description |
|---|---|
| Search type | Stochastic directional movement |
| Exploration strength | High (wide search range) |
| Convergence speed | Slower compared to GA |
| Control parameters | Fewer (e.g., λ, chemotactic steps) |
| Best use case | Multimodal and continuous functions |
| Elitism | Not inherently supported |
| Adaptability | Can be hybridized with GA or PSO |
