The population size in evolutionary computation is a significant parameter affecting computational effort and the ability to successfully evolve solutions. We find that population...
We investigate the runtime of a Binary Particle Swarm Optimizer (PSO) for optimizing pseudo-Boolean functions f : {0, 1}n → R. The Binary PSO maintains a swarm of particles sear...
