Abstract. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a new evolutionary computation technique. Although PSO algorithm possesses many attractive properties, the methods of selecting inert...
—Motivated by the migration mechanisms of ecosystems, various extensions to biogeography-based optimization (BBO) are proposed. BBO is an original optimization method based on th...
Genetic Algorithms have widely been used for solving optimization problems in stationary environments. In recent years, there has been a growing interest for investigating and imp...
For the worst-case complexity measure, if P = NP, then P = OptP, i.e., all NP optimization problems are polynomial-time solvable. On the other hand, it is not clear whether a simi...
