This paper proposes venus ytrap optimization (VFO) with constriction factor (VFO-CF) for improving the convergence of the algorithm. The constriction factor has a signicant impact on the performance of VFO-CF; its impact was inspected based on benchmark functions. Herein, the property of the constriction factor and the guidelines for determining the optimal parameter values are defined. The proposed method is tested on benchmark functions, and the obtained results are compared with existing VFO results. The water supply rate is tested in the range [4.1, 4.2], which is generally reasonable for the benchmark functions.
