Runtime analysis of a binary particle swarm optimizer
We investigate the runtime of a Binary Particle Swarm Optimizer (PSO) for optimizing pseudo-Boolean functions f : {0, 1}n → R. The Binary PSO maintains a swarm of particles sear...

Biases in Particle Swarm Optimization
It is known that the most common versions of particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithms are rotationally variant. It has also been pointed out that PSO algorithms can concentrat...

Staff Scheduling with Particle Swarm Optimisation and Evolution Strategies
The current paper uses a scenario from logistics to show that modern heuristics, and in particular particle swarm optimization (PSO) can significantly add to the improvement of sta...

Dynamic multi-swarm particle swarm optimizer with sub-regional harmony search
In this paper, the dynamic multi-swarm particle swarm optimizer (DMS-PSO) and a sub-regional harmony search (SHS) are hybridized to obtain DMS-PSO-SHS. A Modified multi-trajectory ...

Evaporation as a Self-Adaptation Mechanism for PSO
This work extends the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm for working on dynamic environments. We propose an evaporation mechanism to solve the outdated memory problem. We...
