This paper describes an evolutionary strategy called PSOGA-NN, which uses Neural Network (NN) for selfadaptive control of hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization and Adaptive Plan system with Genetic Algorithm (PSO-APGA) to solve large scale problems and constrained real-parameter optimization. This approach combines the search ability of all optimization techniques (PSO, GA) for stability of conver...

Recently, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) has been applied to various application fields. In this paper, a new optimization method “α Constrained Particle Swarm Optimizer (αPSO)”, which is the combination of the α constrained method and PSO, is proposed. The αPSO is applied to several test problems such as nonlinear programming problems and problems with non-convex constraints. It is compared...

This article presents a hybrid evolutionary algorithm (PSABC) based on Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) and particle swarm optimization (PSO). Both of the algorithms are co-operative, population-based global search swarm intelligence met heuristics. The core of this algorithm is using PSO to optimize the fitness value of population in ABC. For Evaluation purpose, the proposed algorithm is tested on ...

Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a Swarm Intelligence technique used for optimization motivated by the social behavior of individuals in large groups in nature. The damped mass-spring analogy known as the PSO continuous model allowed us to derive a whole family of particle swarm optimizers with different properties with regard to their exploitation/exploration balance. Using the theory of s...

The standard Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is a novel evolutionary algorithm in which each particle studies its own previous best solution and the group’s previous best to optimize problems. One problem exists in PSO is its tendency of trapping into local optima. In this paper, a fast particle swarm optimization (FPSO) algorithm is proposed by combining PSO and the Cauchy mutation...

Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is a population based heuristic search method for finding global optimal values in multi-disciplinary design optimization problems. PSO is based on simple social behavior exhibited by birds and insects. Due to its simplicity in implementation, PSO has been increasingly gaining popularity in the optimization community. Previous work by the authors demonstrated s...
