MATLAB: Particle swarm optimization for large scale integer variables and large number of constraints in matlab

can particle swarm optimization algorithm be applied to a large scale linear programming problem with large number of integer variables and constraints in MATLAB R 2013a.

Best Answer

That sounds like the wrong thing to do. You would have to write the algorithm yourself, and I am not aware of an integer particle swarm algorithm. Use an MILP solver instead. The easiest (though not necessarily cheapest) way is to upgrade to R2014a or later, in order to use intlinprog.
