Abstract: As a recent swarm-based intelligent optimization algorithm, Pigeon Inspired Optimization (PIO), is motivated by the natural bio-mechanism of pigeons for their superior skills in destination ...

Abstract: In consideration of the fact that bat algorithm (BA) is sensitive to the initial values and simplex algorithm (SA) could often easily fall into local optimal, simplex-bat algorithm is put ...

There are three groups of optimization techniques available in PROC NLP. A particular optimizer can be selected with the TECH=name option in the PROC NLP statement. Since no single optimization ...
