چکیده
In order to improve the performance of PSO algorithm, number of its variants has been made. This paper presents detail overview of the basic concepts of PSO and its variants. Many variants of PSO have been developed due to improved speed of convergence and quality of solution found by Researchers. The Applications of PSO in Complex Environments is discussed. Modifications, both those already developed, and promising future application areas are reviewed. Observation and review of 117 related studies in the period between 1995 and 2015 on different variants of PSO algorithms are discussed along with their advantages and disadvantages.

متن کاملAdaptive particularly tunable fuzzy particle swarm optimization algorithm
Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is a metaheuristic optimization algorithm that owes much of its allure to its simplicity and its high effectiveness in solving sophisticated optimization problems. However, since the performance of the standard PSO is prone to being trapped in local extrema, abundant variants of PSO have been proposed by far. For instance, Fuzzy Adaptive PSO (FAPSO) algorithms ...
