چکیده
The performance of the Particle Swarm Optimization method in coping with Constrained Optimization problems is investigated in this contribution. In the adopted approach a non{stationary multi{stage assignment penalty function is incorporated, and several experiments are performed on well{known and widely used benchmark problems. The obtained results are reported and compared with those obtained through di erent evolutionary algorithms, such as Evolution Strategies and Genetic Algorithms. Conclusions are derived and directions of future research are exposed.

The analysis of flow in water-distribution networks with several pumps by the Content Model may be turned into a non-convex optimization uncertain problem with multiple solutions. Newton-based methods such as GGA are not able to capture a global optimum in these situations. On the other hand, evolutionary methods designed to use the population of individuals may find a global solution even for ...
