A Particle Swarm Optimization with Variety Factor

Article Preview

Abstract:

A new particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm (a PSO with Variety Factor, VFPSO) based on the PSO was proposed. Compared with the previous algorithm, the proposed algorithm is to update the Variety Factor and to improve the inertia weight of the PSO. The target of the improvement is that the new algorithm could go on enhancing the robustness as before and should reduce the risk of premature convergence. The simulation experiments show that it has great advantages of convergence property over some other modified PSO algorithms, and also avoids algorithm being trapped in local minimum effectively. So it can avoid the phenomenon of premature convergence.
