Applications in Multiobjective, Constrained and Minimax Problems

Abstract

This chapter is devoted to the application of PSO and its variants on three very interesting problem types, namely (a) multiobjective, (b) constrained, and (c) minimax optimization problems. The biggest part of the chapter refers to the multiobjective case, since there is a huge bibliography with a rich assortment of PSO approaches developed to date. Different algorithm types are presented and briefly discussed, focusing on the most influential approaches.
