Particle swarm hybridized with differential evolution: black box optimization benchmarking for noisy functions

In this work we evaluate a Particle Swarm Optimizer hybridized with Differential Evolution and apply it to the Black-Box Optimization Benchmarking for noisy functions (BBOB 2009). We have performed the complete procedure established in this special session dealing with noisy functions with dimension: 2, 3, 5, 10, 20, and 40 variables. Our proposal obtained an accurate level of coverage rate, despite the simplicity of the model and the relatively small number of function evaluations used.
