An Efficient Evolutionary Algorithm Applied to the Design of Two-dimensional IIR Filters

This paper presents an efficient technique of designing two-dimensional IIR digital filters using a new algorithm involving the tightly coupled synergism of particle swarm optimization and differential evolution. The design task is reformulated as a constrained minimization problem and is solved by our newly developed PSO-DV (Particle Swarm Optimizer with Differentially perturbed Velocity) algorithm. Numerical results are presented. The paper also demonstrates the superiority of the proposed design method by comparing it with two recently published filter design methods.
