Population based meta-heuristic techniques for solving optimization problems: A selective survey
نویسندگان
چکیده
Optimization is necessary for finding appropriate solutions to a range of real life problems. Some meta-heuristic techniques, especially population-based techniques have become popular and are widely used. This paper presents a survey on a select few including genetic algorithms, ant colony optimization, particle swarm optimization and artificial bee algorithm. Additionally, the survey is extended to present differential evolution and teaching-learning based optimization. Applications of the mentioned algorithms are also presented. This review intends to serve as a reference for further work in this domain.

متن کاملIntroducing a new meta-heuristic algorithm based on See-See Partridge Chicks Optimization to solve dynamic optimization problems
The SSPCO (See-See Particle Chicks Optimization) is a type of swarm intelligence algorithm derived from the behavior of See-See Partridge. Although efficiency of this algorithm has been proven for solving static optimization problems, it has not yet been tested to solve dynamic optimization problems. Due to the nature of NP-Hard dynamic problems, this algorithm alone is not able to solve such o...
