Particle Swarm Optimization (ISTE) [Hardcover]

Maurice Clerc (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 24, 2006 | ISBN-10: 1905209045 | ISBN-13: 978-1905209040

This is the first book devoted entirely to Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), which is a non-specific algorithm, similar to evolutionary algorithms, such as taboo search and ant colonies.

Since its original development in 1995, PSO has mainly been applied to continuous-discrete heterogeneous strongly non-linear numerical optimization and it is thus used almost everywhere in the world. Its convergence rate also makes it a preferred tool in dynamic optimization.
