A Quantum-Behaved Neurodynamic Approach for Nonconvex Optimization with Constraints

Round  1

Reviewer 1 Report

The method presented is of interest to the global optimization and particle swarm optimization communities. The paper is reasonably written and presented. Nevertheless, I think that the following two major points need to be addressed before the paper can be accepted: (1) a statistical analysis of the results must be provided though multiple runs to prove the robustness of the method; (2) comparison to other global optimization methods including PSO versions should be presented and discussed for a variety of test problems to show the potentiality of the current method as opposed to others.
