the gravitational search algorithm (gsa) is a novel optimization methodbased on the law of gravity and mass interactions. it has good ability to search forthe global optimum, but its searching speed is really slow in the last iterations. sothe hybridization of particle swarm optimization (pso) and gsa can resolve theaforementioned problem. in this paper, a modified pso, which the movement ofpar...

the markowitz’s optimization problem is considered as a standard quadratic programming problem that has exact mathematical solutions. considering real world limits and conditions, the portfolio optimization problem is a mixed quadratic and integer programming problem for which efficient algorithms do not exist. therefore, the use of meta-heuristic methods such as neural networks and evolutionar...

Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a population-based stochastic optimization that has been widely applied to a variety of problems. However, it is easily trapped into the local optima and appears premature convergence during the search process. To address these problems, we propose a new particle swarm optimization by introducing chaotic maps (tent map and logistic map) and Gaussian mutation...
