Initializing the Particle Swarm Optimizer Using the Nonlinear Simplex Method
نویسنده
چکیده
Initialization of the population in Evolutionary Computation algorithms is an issue of ongoing research. Proper initialization may help the algorithm to explore the search space more efficiently and detect better solutions. In this paper, the Nonlinear Simplex Method is used to initialize the swarm of the Particle Swarm technique. Experiments for several well-known benchmark problems imply that better convergence rates and success rates can be achieved by initializing the swarm this way. Key-Words: Particle Swarm, Nonlinear Simplex Method, Optimization

An Improved Particle Swarm Optimizer Based on a Novel Class of Fast and Efficient Learning Factors Strategies
The particle swarm optimizer (PSO) is a population-based metaheuristic optimization method that can be applied to a wide range of problems but it has the drawbacks like it easily falls into local optima and suffers from slow convergence in the later stages. In order to solve these problems, improved PSO (IPSO) variants, have been proposed. To bring about a balance between the exploration and ex...
