Optimal fractal coding consists of finding in a finite set of contractive affine mappings one whose unique fixed point is closest to the original image. Optimal fractal coding is ...
Geometric particle swarm optimization (GPSO) is a recently introduced formal generalization of traditional particle swarm optimization (PSO) that applies naturally to both continu...
Several population-based methods (with origins in the world of evolutionary strategies and estimation-of-distribution algorithms) for black-box optimization in continuous domains ...
