In this paper an attempt has been made to fit the Gielis curves (modified by various functions) to simulated data. The estimation has been done by two methods - the Classical Simulated Annealing (CSA) and the Particle Swarm (PS) methods - of global optimization. The Repulsive Particle Swarm...

In this paper an attempt has been made to estimate the parameters of Gielis superformula (modified by various functions). Simulated data have been used for this purpose. The estimation has been done by the method of simulated annealing. It has been found that the simulated annealing method is...

One of the most important factors to control for the achievements of investment portfolio returns is risk. If we only think that a 100% positive return is needed to recover a portfolio loss of 50%, we can understand why. With the advent of the exponential growth of technology usage in markets,...

Keane's bump function is considered as a standard benchmark for nonlinear constrained optimization. It is highly multi-modal and its optimum is located at the non-linear constrained boundary. The true minimum of this function is, perhaps, unknown. We intend in this paper to optimize Keane's...

In this paper we compare the performance of the Barter method, a newly introduced population-based (stochastic) heuristic to search the global optimum of a (continuous) multi-modal function, with that of two other well-established and very powerful methods, namely, the Simulated Annealing (SA)...

The objective of this paper is to introduce a new population-based (stochastic) heuristic to search the global optimum of a (continuous) multi-modal function and to assess its performance (on a fairly large number of benchmark functions) vis-a-vis that of two other well-established and very...

The Repulsive Particle Swarm (RPS) method of global optimization is perhaps the simplest to understand and implement. Due to its simplicity, it can be easily modified to suit the purpose and therefore, it has better prospects as well. The method has been frequently used in the field of...
