1. Particle Swarm Optimisation

   Classical and Quantum Perspectives

   By Jun Sun, Choi-Hong Lai, Xiao-Jun Wu

   Series: Chapman & Hall/CRC Numerical Analysis and Scientific Computing Series

   Although the particle swarm optimisation (PSO) algorithm requires relatively few parameters and is computationally simple and easy to implement, it is not a globally convergent algorithm. In Particle Swarm Optimisation: Classical and Quantum Perspectives, the authors introduce their concept of...

2. Undocumented Secrets of MATLAB-Java Programming

   By Yair M. Altman

   For a variety of reasons, the MATLAB®-Java interface was never fully documented. This is really quite unfortunate: Java is one of the most widely used programming languages, having many times the number of programmers and programming resources as MATLAB. Also unfortunate is the popular claim that...
