— Traditional particle swarm optimization (PSO) suffers from the premature convergence problem, which usually results in PSO being trapped in local optima. This paper presents an...
This paper presents an updated version of the adaptive learning particle swarm optimizer (ALPSO) [6], we call it ALPSO-II. In order to improve the performance of ALPSO on multi-mod...
—The particle swarm optimizer (PSO) is a popular computing technique of swarm intelligence, known for its fast convergence speed and easy implementation. All the particles in the...
: The particle swarm is one of the most powerful methods for solving global optimization problems. This method is an adaptive algorithm based on social-psychological metaphor. A po...
