“…Many promising methods have been proposed to solve the mentioned problem in Equation 1, for example, genetic algorithms [14,24], particle swarm optimization [23,28], ant colony optimization [31], tabu search [9,10], differential evolution [2,6] scatter search [15,20], and variable neighborhood search [11,27]. Although the efficiency of these methods, when applied to lower and middle dimensional problems, e.g., D < 100, many of them suffer from the curse of dimensionality when applied to high dimensional problems.…”
