The phenomenon of particle bursts, a well-known feature of PSO is investigated. Their origin is concluded to lie in multiplicative stochasticity, previously encountered in the stu...
In the open route version of the well-known vehicle routing problem, vehicles are not required to return to the depot; or if they are required, then they return by traveling the sa...
In this paper, we study an adaptive random search method based on continuous action-set learning automaton for solving stochastic optimization problems in which only the noisecorr...
Abstract. In this paper, five previous Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithms for multimodal function optimization are reviewed. A new and a successful PSO based algorithm, n...
We consider the problem of finding obnoxious centers in graphs. For arbitrary graphs with n vertices and m edges, we give a randomized algorithm with O(n log2 n + m log n) expecte...
