Social Cognitive Optimization (SCO): Project Portal

Social Cognitive Optimization (SCO) [1, 2] is an optimization algorithm for solving the (constrained) numerical optimization problem. SCO is an agent-based model based on the observational learning mechanism in human social cognition. In CGOS [3], SCO was hybridized with differential evolution (DE) to obtain better results than individual algorithms on a common set of benchmark

Dissipative Particle Swarm Optimization (DPSO)

The dissipative particle swarm optimization (DPSO) is developed according to the self-organization of dissipative structure. The negative entropy is introduced into the particle swarm to construct an opening dissipative system that is far-from-equilibrium so as to driving the evolutionary process towards better fitness. Xiao-Feng Xie, Wen-Jun Zhang, and Zhi-Lian Yang. A dissipative particle swarm optimization.

DEPSO Algorithm: Project Portal

DEPSO [1], or called DEPS, is an algorithm for (constrained) numerical optimization problem (NOP). DEPSO combines the advantages of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Differential Evolution (DE). It is incorporated into cooperative group optimization (CGO) system [2]. The DEPSO paper has been cited over 400 times with various applications. DEPSO was also implemented (by Sun

Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) Software

Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a population-based stochastic optimization technique inspired by swarm intelligence. The underlying motivation for the development of PSO algorithm was social behavior of animals such as bird flocking, fish schooling, and swarm theory. The fundamental to the development of PSO is a hypothesis that social sharing of information among peers offers an evolutionary

Polymath8: Bounded Gaps between Primes

The Polymath8 project, led by the Fields Medalist Dr. Terence Tao and in collaboration with a team of top mathematicians, was launched to optimize the records of the bounded gaps between primes based on the breakthrough work of “Bounded gaps between primes” by Dr. Yitang Zhang. He proved that there are infinitely many pairs of primes with a
