Coefficients' Settings in Particle Swarm Optimization: Insight and Guidelines

no code implementations28 Jan 2021 Mauro S. Innocente, Johann Sienz

In its canonical version, there are three factors that govern a particle's trajectory: 1) inertia from its previous displacement; 2) attraction to its best experience; and 3) attraction to a given neighbour's best experience.

Combining Particle Swarm Optimizer with SQP Local Search for Constrained Optimization Problems

no code implementations25 Jan 2021 Carwyn Pelley, Mauro S. Innocente, Johann Sienz

The combining of a General-Purpose Particle Swarm Optimizer (GP-PSO) with Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP) algorithm for constrained optimization problems has been shown to be highly beneficial to the refinement, and in some cases, the success of finding a global optimum solution.

Numerical Comparison of Neighbourhood Topologies in Particle Swarm Optimization

no code implementations25 Jan 2021 Mauro S. Innocente, Johann Sienz

The coefficients settings govern the trajectories of the particles towards the good locations identified, whereas the neighbourhood topology controls the form and speed of spread of information within the population (i. e. the update of the social attractor).

Constraint-Handling Techniques for Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithms

no code implementations25 Jan 2021 Mauro S. Innocente, Johann Sienz

Population-based methods can cope with a variety of different problems, including problems of remarkably higher complexity than those traditional methods can handle.

A Study of the Fundamental Parameters of Particle Swarm Optimizers

no code implementations25 Jan 2021 Mauro S. Innocente, Johann Sienz

While the particle swarm optimizers share such advantages, their main desirable features when compared to evolutionary algorithms are their lower computational cost and easier implementation, involving no operator design and few parameters to be tuned.

Particle Swarm Optimization: Development of a General-Purpose Optimizer

no code implementations25 Jan 2021 Mauro S. Innocente, Johann Sienz

Traditional methods present a very restrictive range of applications, mainly limited by the features of the function to be optimized and of the constraint functions.

Pseudo-Adaptive Penalization to Handle Constraints in Particle Swarm Optimizers

no code implementations25 Jan 2021 Mauro S. Innocente, Johann Sienz

The penalization method is a popular technique to provide particle swarm optimizers with the ability to handle constraints.

Individual and Social Behaviour in Particle Swarm Optimizers

no code implementations25 Jan 2021 Johann Sienz, Mauro S. Innocente

The importance awarded to each factor is controlled by three coefficients: the inertia; the individuality; and the sociality weights.
