Abstract:

To deal with the demerits of constriction particle swarm optimization (CPSO), such as relapsing into local optima, slow convergence velocity, a modified CPSO algorithm is proposed by improving the velocity update formula of CPSO. The random velocity operator from local optima to global optima is added into the velocity update formula of CPSO to accelerate the convergence speed of the particles to the global optima and reduce the likelihood of being trapped into local optima. Finally the convergence of the algorithm is verified by calculation examples.
