In the past few decades, many meta-heuristic search algorithms have been developed and performed well in solving various optimization problems in engineering fields. Thus, they have attracted a ...

Optimization is the act of finding the best solution from a decision space given certain constraints and objectives (single or multi-objective) 1. In real-world production practices, it is often faced ...

The goal of a numerical optimization problem is to find a vector of values that minimizes some cost function. The most fundamental example is minimizing the Sphere Function f(x0, x1, .. xn) = x0^2 + ...
