Self-adaptive Potential-based Stopping Criteria for Particle Swarm Optimization

Bernd Bassimir, Manuel Schmitt, Rolf Wanka

We study the variant of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) that applies random velocities in a dimension instead of the regular velocity update equations as soon as the so-called po…

Exact Markov Chain-based Runtime Analysis of a Discrete Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm on Sorting and OneMax

Moritz Mühlenthaler, Alexander Raß, Manuel Schmitt +1

Meta-heuristics are powerful tools for solving optimization problems whose structural properties are unknown or cannot be exploited algorithmically. We propose such a meta-heuristi…

Explanation of Stagnation at Points that are not Local Optima in Particle Swarm Optimization by Potential Analysis

Alexander Raß, Manuel Schmitt, Rolf Wanka

Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is a nature-inspired meta-heuristic for solving continuous optimization problems. In the literature, the potential of the particles of swarm has b…

Exploiting Independent Subformulas: A Faster Approximation Scheme for #k-SAT

Manuel Schmitt, Rolf Wanka

We present an improvement on Thurley's recent randomized approximation scheme for #k-SAT where the task is to count the number of satisfying truth assignments of a Boolean function…
