A particle swarm algorithm (PSO) based on boundary buffering-natural evolution was proposed for solving constrained optimization problems. By buffering the particles that cross boundaries, the diversity of populations was intensified; to accelerate the convergence speed and avoid local optimum of PSO, natural evolution was introduced. In other words, particle hybridization and mutation strategies were applied; and by combining the modified feasible rules, the constrained optimization problems were solved. The simulation results proved that the method was effective in solving this kind of problems.

Considering that the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm has a tendency to get stuck at the local solutions, an improved PSO algorithm is proposed in this paper to solve constrained optimization problems. In this algorithm, the initial particle population is generated using good point set method such that the initial particles are uniformly distributed in the optimization domain. Then, during the optimization process, the particle population is divided into two sub-populations including feasible sub-population and infeasible sub-population. Finally, different crossover operations and mutation operations are applied for updating the particles in each of the two sub-populations. The effectiveness of the improved PSO algorithm is demonstrated on three benchmark functions.
