In the past decades, different kinds of metaheuristic optimization algorithms [1, 2] have been developed; Simulated Annealing (SA) [3, 4], Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) [5–7], Differential Evolution… (More)
Cooperative co-evolution has been introduced into evolutionary algorithms with the aim of solving increasingly complex optimization problems through a divide-and-conquer paradigm. In theory, the idea… (More)
This paper introduces a modified PSO, Non-dominated Sorting Particle Swarm Optimizer (NSPSO), for better multiobjective optimization. NSPSO extends the basic form of PSO by making a better use of… (More)
This paper proposes an improved particle swarm optimizer using the notion of species to determine its neighborhood best values for solving multimodal optimization problems and for tracking multiple… (More)
Niching is an important technique for multimodal optimization. Most existing niching methods require specification of certain niching parameters in order to perform well. These niching parameters,… (More)
This paper presents a new cooperative coevolving particle swarm optimization (CCPSO) algorithm in an attempt to address the issue of scaling up particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithms in solving… (More)
In this paper differential evolution is extended by using the notion of speciation for solving multimodal optimization problems. The proposed species-based DE (SDE) is able to locate multiple global… (More)
This paper proposes an improved particle swarm optimizer using the notion of species to determine its neighbourhood best values, for solving multimodal optimization problems. In the proposed… (More)
Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) in their original forms are usually designed for locating a single global solution. These algorithms typically converge to a single solution because of the global… (More)
This paper demonstrates that the self-adaptive technique of Differential Evolution (DE) can be simply used for solving a multiobjective optimization problem where parameters are interdependent. The… (More)
