TLDR

Two novel extensions for the well known ant colony optimization (ACO) framework are introduced here, which allow the solution of mixed integer nonlinear programs (MINLPs) and a hybrid implementation based on this extended ACO framework, specially developed for complex non-convex MINLPs is presented.
