Particle Swarm Optimization, Differential Evolution

Particle Swarm Optimization, Differential Evolution, good parameters, and more.

You are now following this Submission

Implements various optimization methods which do not use the gradient of the problem being optimized, including Particle Swarm Optimization, Differential Evolution, and others. The implementation is simple and easy to understand.
Also included are parallel versions of PSO and DE, as well as behavioural parameters tuned for various optimization scenarios.
