Abstract
This paper investigates the philosophical and performance differences of particle swarm and evolutionary optimization. The method of processing employed in each technique are first reviewed followed by a summary of their philosophical differences. Comparison experiments involving four non-linear functions well studied in the evolutionary optimization literature are used to highlight some performance differences between the techniques.
