Firefly-inspired synchronicity algorithm based on multi granularity phase

Considering that conventional distributed synchronicity algorithm may lead to a state of partial synchronization separately with small couple coefficient or unsteadiness with large couple coefficient, a multi granularity firefly-inspired synchronicity algorithm is proposed. It lets the phase value couple in multi granularity by its divergence in time and phase, which can relieve the issue of partial synchronization and speed up the convergence process. Its performance is tested by simulation in a non-fully connect network by comparing with the conventional M&S algorithm. The result shows that it works better.
