Beyond Standard Particle Swarm Optimisation

Currently, two very similar versions of PSO are available that could be called “standard”. While it is easy to merge them, their common drawbacks still remain. Therefore, in this paper, the author goes beyond simple merging by suggesting simple yet robust changes and solving a few well-known, common problems, while retaining the classical structure. The results can be proposed to the “swarmer community” as a new standard.
