Hybridizing cGAs with PSO-like Mutation

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Studies in Computational Intelligence ((SCI,volume 447))

Abstract

Over the last years, interest in hybrid metaheuristics has risen considerably in the field of optimization. Combinations of operators andmetaheuristics have provided very powerful search techniques. In this chapter we incorporate active components of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) into the Cellular Genetic Algorithm(cGA).We replace themutation operator by amutation based on concepts of PSO. We present two hybrid algorithms and analyze their performance using a set of different problems. The results obtained are quite satisfactory in efficacy and efficiency, outperforming in most cases existing algorithms for a set of problems.
