TY - CHAP U1 - Konferenzveröffentlichung A1 - Knauf, Florian A1 - Bruns, Ralf T1 - A Peek into the Swarm: Analysis of the Gravitational Search Algorithm and Recommendations for Parameter Selection T2 - GECCO'19: Proceedings of the 2019 Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference, Prague, Czech Republic — July 13 - 17, 2019 N2 - The Gravitational Search Algorithm is a swarm-based optimization metaheuristic that has been successfully applied to many problems. However, to date little analytical work has been done on this topic. This paper performs a mathematical analysis of the formulae underlying the Gravitational Search Algorithm. From this analysis, it derives key properties of the algorithm's expected behavior and recommendations for parameter selection. It then confirms through empirical examination that these recommendations are sound.
