FOPS Features

• OOP (Object Oriented Programming) toolbox in Matlab
• able to optimize any user defined function given by MATLAB function
• single-/ multi-objective / variable-dimensional optimization
• multi-objective optimization: NSGA-II, MOPSO, GDE3
• comparative tool – benchmark problems and metrics
• chaining of algorithms to enhance convergence

The FOPS has been fruitfully used in the following research:
