GSO Applications and Extensions

In this chapter, we present a survey on applications of GSO and its extensions. Work on GSO that appeared in the recent literature can be primarily classified into three categories. Researchers in the first category proposed modifications of GSO, which were mainly focused on either improving the convergence properties of original GSO or modifying GSO for global optimization problems. In the second category, researchers used basic GSO in different applications. In the third category, other researchers modified GSO and used them in some applications. Table 8.1 summarizes this classification.
