Dynamic Threshold Optimization - A New Approach?
Richard A. Formato
Dynamic Threshold Optimization (DTO) adaptively "compresses" the decision space (DS) in a global search and optimization problem by bounding the objective function from below. This…
On the Utility of Directional Information for Repositioning Errant Probes in Central Force Optimization
Richard A. Formato
Central Force Optimization is a global search and optimization algorithm that searches a decision space by flying "probes" whose trajectories are deterministically computed using t…
Parameter-Free Deterministic Global Search with Central Force Optimization
Richard A. Formato
This note describes a parameter-free implementation of Central Force Optimization for deterministic multidimensional search and optimization. The user supplies only one input: the…
Central Force Optimization Applied to the PBM Suite of Antenna Benchmarks
Richard A. Formato
Central Force Optimization (CFO) is a new nature-inspired deterministic multi-dimensional search and optimization metaheuristic based on the metaphor of gravitational kinematics. C…
Comparative Results: Group Search Optimizer and Central Force Optimization
Richard A. Formato
This note compares the performance of two multidimensional search and optimization algorithms: Group Search Optimizer and Central Force Optimization. GSO is a new state-of-the-art…
