Genetic algorithm (GA) | Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) | Simulated annealing (SA) | |
|---|---|---|---|
Optimization approach | Evolutionary | Swarm intelligence | Stochastic local search |
Population based | Yes | Yes | No |
Inspiration source | Genetics and natural selection | Flocking behavior of birds/fish | Annealing process |
Main parameters | Population (25), generation (75), mutation (M = 0.8), crossover (C = 0.9) | Swarm size (25), social and weights velocities (c1= 1.5, c2 = 1.5) (w = [2:0,1]) | Temperature (T = 100), cooling parameter ( \(\alpha\)= 0.95) |
