Abstract— Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is swarm intelligence based algorithm which is used for solving optimization problem. PSO simulates the intelligent foraging behavior of a flock of birds.

this paper presents designing an optimal adaptive controller for tracking control of robot manipulators based on particle swarm optimization (pso) algorithm. pso algorithm has been employed to optimize parameters of the controller and hence to minimize the integral square of errors (ise) as a performance criteria. in this paper, an improved pso using logic is proposed to increase the convergenc...

PSO algorithm is an intelligent optimization algorithm based on swarm intelligence. Particle swarm optimization algorithm is simple, easy to implement, and it has a wide application prospect in scientific research and engineering applications. In real life, most of the optimization problem is the optimization problem of some nonlinear discrete with the existence of local. PSO algorithm also has...

Optimization of noisy non-linear problems plays a key role in engineering and design problems. These optimization problems can't be solved effectively by using conventional optimization methods. However, metaheuristic algorithms such as Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) seem very efficient to approach in these problems and became very popular. The efficiency of these ...

Our main objective in this article is to achieve minimum side lobe levels for a specific first null beam-width and also a minimum size of the circumference by an optimization-based design method for non-uniform, planar, and circular antenna arrays. Our approach is based on a new variant of Particle swarm Optimization technique. This new technique is a hybrid of Local Neighborhood based PSO with...

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...

Financial forecasting is an estimation of future financial outcomes for a company, industry, country using historical internal accounting and sales data. We may predict the future outcome of BSE_SENSEX practically by some soft computing techniques and can also optimized using PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization), EA (Evolutionary Algorithm) or DEA (Differential Evolutionary Algorithm) etc. PSO is ...

Particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is a kind of random optimization algorithm based on swarm intelligence. Swarm intelligence of PSO is produced by cooperation and competition between particles, which is used for guiding optimization search. PSO has been studied widely in many applications due to its good global searching ability. Currently PSO has been widely used in function optimiza...

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 i...
