Abstract Owing to their global search capabilities and gradient-free operation, metaheuristic algorithms are widely applied to a wide range of optimization problems. However, their computational demands become prohibitive when tackling high-dimensional optimization challenges. To effectively address these challenges, this study introduces cooperative metaheuristics integrating dynamic dimension reduction (DR). Building upon particle swarm optimization (PSO) and differential evolution (DE), the proposed cooperative methods C-PSO and C-DE are developed. In the proposed methods, the modified principal components analysis (PCA) is utilized to reduce the dimension of design variables, thereby decreasing computational costs. The dynamic DR strategy implements periodic… More >
