Abstract
Over the last few decades, many population-based swarm and evolutionary algorithms were introduced in the literature. It is well known that population topology or sociometry plays an important role in improving the performance of population-based optimization algorithms by enhancing population diversity when solving multiobjective and multimodal problems. Many population structures and population topologies were developed for particle swarm optimization and differential evolutionary algorithms. Therefore, a comprehensive review of population topologies developed for PSO and DE is carried out in this paper. We anticipate that this survey will inspire researchers to integrate the population topologies into other nature inspired algorithms and to develop novel population topologies for improving the performances of population-based optimization algorithms for solving single objective optimization, multiobjective optimization and other classes of optimization problems.
