The Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is developed for solving the Schaffer F6 function in fewer than 4000 function evaluations on a total of 30 runs. Four variations of the Full Model of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithms are presented which consist of combinations of Ring and Star topologies with Synchronous and Asynchronous updates. The Full Model with combinations of Ring and Star topologies in combination with Synchronous and Asynchronous Particle Updates is explored.

The goal of this project is to develop the Genetic Algorithms (GA) for solving the Schaffer F6 function in fewer than 4000 function evaluations on a total of 30 runs. Four types of Genetic Algorithms (GA) are presented - Generational GA (GGA), Steady-State (mu+1)-GA (SSGA), Steady-Generational (mu,mu)-GA (SGGA), and (mu+mu)-GA.
