Lévy flight

Lévy flight is a type of random movement pattern characterized by many small steps combined with occasional very long jumps. Imagine an animal searching for food: most of the time, it moves slowly and locally, but sometimes it makes a sudden, long-distance leap to explore new areas. This pattern is efficient for locating sparse resources because it balances thorough local search with the chance to quickly find distant targets. Lévy flights are observed in nature, physics, and even finance, highlighting how complex systems often utilize a mix of short and long movements to optimize exploration or problem-solving.
