Synchronous gravitational search algorithm vs asynchronous gravitational search algorithm: a statistical analysis

Gravitational search algorithm (GSA) is a new member of swarm intelligence algorithms. It stems from Newtonian law of gravity and motion. The performance of synchronous GSA (S-GSA) and asynchronous GSA (A-GSA) is studied here using statistical analysis. The agents in S-GSA are updated synchronously,...
