A dissipative particle swarm OPTIMIZATION is
developed according to the self-organization of dissipative
structure. The negative entropy is introduced to construct an
opening dissipative system that is far-from-equilibrium so as to
driving the irreversible evolution process with better fitness.
The testing of two multimodal functions indicates it improves
the performance effectively.

Swarm intelligence algorithms are based on natural
behaviors. Particle swarm OPTIMIZATION (PSO) is a
stochastic search and OPTIMIZATION tool. Changes in the
PSO parameters, namely the inertia weight and the
cognitive and social acceleration constants, affect the
performance of the search process. This paper presents a
novel method to dynamically change the values of these
parameters during the search. Adaptive critic design
(ACD) has been applied for dynamically changing the
values of the PSO parameters.
GloptiPoly 3: moments, OPTIMIZATION and
semidefinite programming.
Gloptipoly 3 is intended to solve, or at least approximate, the Generalized Problem of
Moments (GPM), an infinite-dimensional OPTIMIZATION problem which can be viewed as
an extension of the classical problem of moments [8]. From a theoretical viewpoint, the
GPM has developments and impact in various areas of mathematics such as algebra,
Fourier analysis, functional analysis, operator theory, probability and statistics, to cite
a few. In addition, and despite a rather simple and short formulation, the GPM has a
large number of important applications in various fields such as OPTIMIZATION, probability,
finance, control, signal processing, chemistry, cristallography, tomography, etc. For an
account of various methodologies as well as some of potential applications, the interested
reader is referred to [1, 2] and the nice collection of papers [5].
