When a local optimal solution is reached with classical Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), all particles in the swarm gather around it, and escaping from this local optima becomes...

—Particle Swarm Optimisation (PSO) is increasingly being applied to optimisation of problems in engineering design and scientific investigation. While readily adapted to singleo...
Abstract. The paper provides an insight into the improved novel metaheuristics of the Firefly Algorithm for constrained continuous optimization tasks. The presented technique is in...
This paper describes an extension to a speciation-based particle swarm optimizer (SPSO) to improve performance in dynamic environments. The improved SPSO has adopted several prove...
We investigate the runtime of a Binary Particle Swarm Optimizer (PSO) for optimizing pseudo-Boolean functions f : {0, 1}n → R. The Binary PSO maintains a swarm of particles sear...
