Particle swarm optimization (PSO), crow search algorithm (CSA), charged system search algorithm (CSSA) and big-bang big crunch optimization (B-BBCO) - Optimization methods – A critical review.

This dissertation concentrates on the application of non-traditional optimization techniques. To solve the optimization problem, the various non-traditional optimization methods are reviewed critically. The methods that are going to review in this survey are Particle Swarm optimization (PSO), Crow Search Algorithm (CSA), Charged system search algorithm (CSSA) and Big-bang big crunch optimization (B-BBCO). These methods are applied to investigate the optimum values. The both linear and non-linear optimization problems are solved to get global solutions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
