Noiseless functions black-box optimization: evaluation of a hybrid particle swarm with differential operators

In this work we evaluate a Particle Swarm Optimizer hybridized with Differential Evolution and apply it to the BlackBox Optimization Benchmarking for noiseless functions (BBOB 2009). We have performed the complete procedure established in this special session dealing with noiseless functions with dimension: 2, 3, 5, 10, 20, and 40 variables. Our proposal obtained an accurate level of coverage rate, despite the simplicity of the model and the relatively small number of function evaluations used. Categories and Subject Descriptors
