Abstract—In the real world, many applications are nonstationary optimization problems. This requires that optimization algorithms need to not only find the global optimal soluti...
: In this paper we propose a new approach to Swarm Intelligence called Two-Step Swarm Intelligence. The basic idea is to split the heuristic search performed by agents into two sta...
A Local Linear Embedding (LLE) module enhances the performance of two Evolutionary Computation (EC) algorithms employed as search tools in global optimization problems. The LLE em...
In this paper, we present an approach that extends the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm to handle multiobjective optimization problems by incorporating the mechanism of...
The issue of coalition formation has been investigated from many aspects, but until recently little attention has been paid to overlapping coalition formation. What’s more, an a...
