— In this paper, we propose a novel approach to solve constrained optimization problems based on particle swarm optimization (PSO). First, an empirical comparison of the most pop...
This paper presents a gregarious particle swarm optimization algorithm (G-PSO) in which the particles explore the search space by aggressively scouting the local minima with the h...
Niching techniques play an important role in evolutionary algorithms. Existing niching methods often require userspecified parameters, limiting their usefulness. This paper propos...
Abstract. This proof of concept study examines the possibility of specifying the construction of programs using a Particle Swarm algorithm, and represents a new form of automatic p...
