— This paper presents a genetic algorithm (GA) with a stress-based crossover (SX) operator to obtain a solution without checkerboard patterns for multi-constrained topology optim...
Two new variants of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) called AMPSO1 and AMPSO2 are proposed for global optimization problems. Both the algorithms use adaptive mutation using Beta ...
This paper presents a particle swarm optimizer for solving constrained optimization problems which adopts a very small population size (five particles). The proposed approach uses...

Most Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithms are able to find a single (or few) optimal, or near-optimal, solutions to difficult (NP-hard) problems. An issue though is that a s...
1 In this paper, we show that the scheduling of tests on the test access mechanism (TAM) is equivalent to independent job scheduling on identical machines and we make use of an exi...
