An hybrid iterative technique based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) and convex programming (CP) will be implemented: once defined the number of subarrays and the number of elements within them, the PSO algorithm is applied in order to determine the optimized distance between the subarrays; then, the optimal subarray weights are calculated through a CP optimization. These two steps, are then repeated in an iterative procedure. date: 2012 type: Student Project Guidelines type: NonPeerReviewed format: text language: en identifier: http://www.eledia.org/students-reports/47/1/Abstract.A397.pdf identifier: Alborali, E. and Carellini, M.
