— Invasive Weed Optimization Algorithm IWO) is an ecologically inspired metaheuristic that mimics the process of weeds colonization and distribution and is capable of solving mul...
Biogas plants are reliable sources of energy based on renewable materials including organic waste. There is a high demand from industry to run these plants efficiently, which lead...
— In this paper, we propose a novel approach to solve constrained optimization problems based on particle swarm optimization (PSO). First, an empirical comparison of the most pop...
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)....
— In this paper, the performance of a sequential Differential Evolution (DE) enhanced by neighborhood search (SDENS) is reported on the set of benchmark functions provided for th...
