Constrained Mixed-Variable Design Optimization Based on Particle Swarm Optimizer with a Diversity Classifier for Cyclically Neighboring Subpopulations

In this research, an easy-to-use particle swarm optimizer (PSO) for solving constrained engineering design problems involving mixed-integer-discrete-continuous (MIDC) variables that adopt two kinds of diversity-enhancing mechanisms to achieve superior reliability and validity was developed. As an in...
