Multi-state PSO GSA for solving discrete combinatorial optimization problems

There are various meta-heuristics exist in literature nowadays. However, not all metaheuristics were originally d~veloped to operate in discrete search space. Two examples of meta-heuristics are Particle swarm optimization (PSO) and gravitational search algorithm (GSA), which are based on the social...

description There are various meta-heuristics exist in literature nowadays. However, not all metaheuristics were originally d~veloped to operate in discrete search space.
