Particle Swarms for Multimodal Optimization
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, five previous Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithms for multimodal function optimization are reviewed. A new and a successful PSO based algorithm, named as CPSO is proposed. CPSO enhances the exploration and exploitation capabilities of PSO by performing search using a random walk and a hill climbing components. Furthermore, one of the previous PSO approaches is improved incredibly by means of a minor adjustment. All algorithms are compared over a set of well-known benchmark functions.

Fuzzy particle swarm optimization with nearest-better neighborhood for multimodal optimization
In the last decades, many efforts have been made to solve multimodal optimization problems using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). To produce good results, these PSO algorithms need to specify some niching parameters to define the local neighborhood. In this paper, our motivation is to propose the novel neighborhood structures that remove undesirable niching parameters without sacrificing perf...
متن کاملAdaptive Particle Swarm Optimization (APSO) for multimodal function optimization
This research paper presents a new evolutionary optimization model based on the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm that incorporates the flocking behavior of a spider. The search space is divided into several segments like the net of a spider. The social information sharing among the swarms are made strong and adaptive. The main focus is on the fitness of the swarms adjusting to the le...

متن کاملLocating multiple optima using particle swarm optimization
Many scientific and engineering applications require optimization methods to find more than one solution to multimodal optimization problems. This paper presents a new particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique to locate and refine multiple solutions to such problems. The technique, NichePSO, extends the inherent unimodal nature of the standard PSO approach by growing multiple swarms from an i...
متن کاملOptimization Using Particle Swarms with Near Neighbor Interactions
This paper presents a modification of the particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO) intended to combat the problem of premature convergence observed in many applications of PSO. In the new algorithm, each particle is attracted towards the best previous positions visited by its neighbors, in addition to the other aspects of particle dynamics in PSO. This is accomplished by using the ratio of t...
