Network-Structured Particle Swarm Optimizer with Various Topology and Its Behaviors

This study proposes Network-Structured Particle Swarm Optimizer (NS-PSO) with various neighborhood topology. The proposed PSO has the various network topology as rectangular, hexagonal, cylinder and toroidal. We apply NS-PSO with various topology to optimization problems. We investigate their behaviors and evaluate what kind of topology would be the most appropriate for each function.
