This is an hybrid algorithm developed in order to combine in the most effective way the properties of two of the most popular evolutionary optimization approaches now in use for the optimization of electromagnetic structures, the particle swarm optimization (PSO) and genetic algorithms (GA). This algorithm is essentially, as PSO and GA, a population-based heuristic search technique, which can be used to solve combinatorial optimization problems, modeled on the concepts of natural selection and evolution (GA) but also based on cultural and social rules derived from the analysis of the swarm intelligence and from the interaction among particles (PSO).

The SFX generates few global basis functions on portions of the array, and uses them as basis functions in the whole structure analysis; the MR approach manages to generate \"wavelet-like\" hierarchical multiscale vector functions for any meshed geometry, and well controls the MoM condition number.
