This paper analyzes theoretically the exact sampling distribution of the particle swarm optimization (PSO) without any assumption imposed by all current analyses. The distribution...
Many problems in practically all fields of science, engineering and technology involve global optimization. It becomes more and more important to develop the efficient global opti...
Object localization in an image is usually handled by searching for an optimal subwindow that tightly covers the object of interest. However, the subwindows considered in previous ...
Various local search approaches have recently been applied to machine scheduling problems under multiple objectives. Their foremost consideration is the identification of the set ...
This paper presents the Scatter Search Particle Filter (SSPF) algorithm and its application to the Dynamic Travelling Salesman Problem (DTSP). SSPF combines sequential estimation a...
