C# Class SwarmOps.Optimizers.MOL

Many Optimizing Liaisons (MOL) optimization method devised as a simplification to the PSO method originally due to Eberhart et al. (1, 2). The MOL method does not have any attraction to the particle's own best known position, and the algorithm also makes use of random selection of which particle to update instead of iterating over the entire swarm. It is similar to the "Social Only" PSO suggested by Kennedy (3), and was studied more thoroguhly by Pedersen et al. (4) who found it to sometimes outperform PSO, and have more easily tunable control parameters.
