Metropolis Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm with Mutation Operator for Global Optimization Problems
When a local optimal solution is reached with classical Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), all particles in the swarm gather around it, and escaping from this local optima becomes...

Strong Sub- and Super-Gaussianity
We introduce the terms strong sub- and super-Gaussianity to refer to the previously introduced class of densities log-concave is x2 and log-convex in x2 respectively. We derive rel...

Dynamic Representations and Escaping Local Optima: Improving Genetic Algorithms and Local Search
Local search algorithms often get trapped in local optima. Algorithms such as tabu search and simulated annealing 'escape' local optima by accepting nonimproving moves. ...
