Vehicle routing problem (VRP) is a well-known combinatorial optimization and nonlinear programming problem seeking to service a number of customers with a fleet of vehicles. This ...
This paper introduces a novel scheme of improving the performance of particle swarm optimization (PSO) by a vector differential operator borrowed from differential evolution (DE)....
Abstract. In this paper we propose a novel hybrid (GA/PSO) algorithm, Breeding Swarm, combining the strengths of particle swarm optimization with genetic algorithms. The hybrid alg...
For a mobile robot to move in a known environment and operate successfully, first it needs to robustly determine its initial position and orientation relative to the map, and then ...
