A short convergence proof for a class of ant colony optimization algorithms
In this paper, we prove some convergence properties for a class of ant colony optimization algorithms. In particular, we prove that for any small constant 0 and for a sufficiently ...

Convergence behavior of the fully informed particle swarm optimization algorithm
The fully informed particle swarm optimization algorithm (FIPS) is very sensitive to changes in the population topology. The velocity update rule used in FIPS considers all the ne...

Improved Sampling of the Pareto-Front in Multiobjective Genetic Optimizations by Steady-State Evolution: A Pareto Converging Gen
Previous work on multiobjective genetic algorithms has been focused on preventing genetic drift and the issue of convergence has been given little attention. In this paper, we pre...

Convergence and convergence rate of stochastic gradient search in the case of multiple and non-isolated extrema
The asymptotic behavior of stochastic gradient algorithms is studied. Relying on some results of differential geometry (Lojasiewicz gradient inequality), the almost sure pointconve...

Distributed subgradient methods and quantization effects
Abstract— We consider a convex unconstrained optimization problem that arises in a network of agents whose goal is to cooperatively optimize the sum of the individual agent objec...
