Multi-Particle Collision Algorithm with Hooke Jeeves applied to the damage identification in a Kabe Problem

Resumen

A new variant of the hybrid metaheutic MPCAHJ (Multi-Particle Collision Algorithm with Hooke-Jeeves method) is presented. Multi-Particle Collision Algorithm is a metaheuristic algorithm that performs a search on the search space. With the addition of the Rotation-Based Learning mechanism to the exploration search, a maior area of the search space has chance to be visited. The Hooke-Jeeves direct search method exploites the best solution found, allowing to achieve better solutions. The performance of all implementation are evaluated over twenty-two well known benchmark functions.
