An improved self-adaptive PSO algorithm with detection function for multimodal function optimization problems (Q474556)

Summary: This paper presented an improved self-adaptive particle swarm optimization (IDPSO) algorithm with detection function to solve multimodal function optimization problems. To overcome the premature convergence of PSO in a short time, the evolution direction of each particle is redirected dynamically by tuning the three parameters of IDPSO in the evolution process. Numerical results on several benchmark functions indicate that the IDPSO strategy outperformed other variants of PSO.
