ALE-PSO swMATH ID: 38756 Software Authors: Vannucci, Paolo Description: ALE-PSO: an adaptive swarm algorithm to solve design problems of laminates. This paper presents an adaptive PSO algorithm whose numerical parameters can be updated following a scheduled protocol respecting some known criteria of convergence in order to enhance the chances to reach the global optimum of a hard combinatorial optimization problem, such those encountered in global optimization problems of composite laminates. Some examples concerning hard design problems are provided, showing the effectiveness of the approach.
