A Diversity-Enhanced Constrained Particle Swarm Optimizer for Mixed Integer-Discrete-Continuous Engineering Design Problems
Engineering optimization problems usually contain various constraints and mixed integer-discrete-continuous types of design variables. We propose an efficient particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm for such problems. First, we transform the constrained optimization problem into an unconstrained...
