Differential Evolution (DE) is a novel evolutionary approach capable of handling non-differentiable, non-linear and multi-modal objective functions. DE has been consistently ranked...
— Ant-colony optimization (ACO) is a popular swarm intelligence metaheuristic scheme that can be applied to almost any optimization problem. In this paper, we address a performan...
A hybrid method of evolutionary algorithms is introduced in this study. The hybrid method includes two additional operations, acceleration and migrating operations. These two oper...
Global optimization can be used as the main component for reliable decision support systems. In this contribution, we explore numerical solution techniques for nonconvex and nondi...
—Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm is a novel meta-heuristic algorithm for the approximate solution of combinatorial optimization problems that has been inspired by the for...
