Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is one of the most capable algorithms that reside to the swarm intelligence (SI) systems. Recently, it becomes very popular and renowned because of the easy implementation in complex/real life optimization problems. However, PSO has some observable drawbacks such as diversity maintenance, pre convergence and/or slow convergence speed. The ultimate success of PSO depends on the velocity update of the particles. Velocity has a significant dependence on its multiplied coefficient like inertia weight and acceleration factors. To increase the ability of PSO, this paper introduced an enriched PSO (namely ePSO), to solve hard optimization problems more precisely, efficiently and reliably. In ePSO novel gradually decreased inertia weight (as an alternative of a fixed constant value) and new gradually decreased and/or increased acceleration factors (meant for cognitive and social modules) is introduced. Proposed ePSO is used to solve four well known typical unconstrained benchmark functions and four complex unconstrained real life problems. The overall observation shows that proposed new algorithm ePSO is fitter than the compared algorithms significantly and statistically. Moreover, the convergence accuracy and speed of ePSO are also improved effectively

Swarm Intelligence algorithms like PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization), ACO (Ant Colony Optimization), ABC (Artificial Bee Colony), Glow-worm swarm Optimization, etc. have been utilized by researchers for solving optimization problems. This work presents the application of a novel modified EHO (Elephant Herding Optimization) for cost optimization of shell and tube heat exchanger. A comparison of the results obtained by EHO in two benchmark problems shows that it is superior to those obtained with genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization. The overall cost reduction is 13.3 % and 9.68% for both the benchmark problem compared to PSO. Results indicate that EHO can be effectively utilized for solving real-life optimization problems.

In the past two decades, Swarm Intelligence (SI)-based optimization techniques have drawn the attention of many researchers for finding an efficient solution to optimization problems. Swarm intelligence techniques are characterized by their decentralized way of working that mimics the behavior of colony of ants, swarm of bees, flock of birds, or school of fishes. Algorithmic simplicity and effectiveness of swarm intelligence techniques have made it a powerful tool for solving global optimization problems. Simulation studies of the graceful, but unpredictable, choreography of bird flocks led to the design of the particle swarm optimization algorithm. Studies of the foraging behavior of ants resulted in the development of ant colony optimization algorithm. This chapter provides insight into swarm intelligence techniques, specifically particle swarm optimization and its variants. The objective of this chapter is twofold: First, it describes how swarm intelligence techniques are employed to solve various optimization problems. Second, it describes how swarm intelligence techniques are efficiently applied for clustering, by imposing clustering as an optimization problem.

Inertia Weight

Linear decreasing inertia weight (LDIW) strategy was introduced to improve on the performance of the original particle swarm optimization (PSO). However, linear decreasing inertia weight PSO (LDIW-PSO) algorithm is known to have the shortcoming of premature convergence in solving complex (multipeak) optimization problems due to lack of enough momentum for particles to do exploitation as the algorithm approaches its terminal point. Researchers have tried to address this shortcoming by modifying LDIW-PSO or proposing new PSO variants. Some of these variants have been claimed to outperform LDIW-PSO. The major goal of this paper is to experimentally establish the fact that LDIW-PSO is very much efficient if its parameters are properly set. First, an experiment was conducted to acquire a percentage value of the search space limits to compute the particle velocity limits in LDIW-PSO based on commonly used benchmark global optimization problems. Second, using the experimentally obtained values, five well-known benchmark optimization problems were used to show the outstanding performance of LDIW-PSO over some of its competitors which have in the past claimed superiority over it. Two other recent PSO variants with different inertia weight strategies were also compared with LDIW-PSO with the latter outperforming both in the simulation experiments conducted.

Applying many electrodes is undesirable for real-life brain-computer interface (BCI) application since the recording preparation can be troublesome and time-consuming. Multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) has been widely utilized to solve multi-objective optimization problems and thus can be employed for channel selection. This paper presented a novel method named cultural-based MOPSO (CMOPSO) for channel selection in motor imagery based BCI. The CMOPSO method introduces a cultural framework to adapt the personalized flight parameters of the mutated particles. A comparison between the proposed algorithm and typical L1-norm algorithm was conducted, and the results showed that the proposed approach is more effective in selecting a smaller subset of channels while maintaining the classification accuracy unreduced.

Inertia Weight

In this paper, a new methodology to develop an Optimal Fuzzy model (OptiFel) using an improved Multi-swarm Particle Swarm Optimization (MsPSO) algorithm is proposed with a new adaptive inertia weight based on Grey relational analysis. Since the classical MsPSO suffers from premature convergence and can be trapped into local optima, which significantly affects the model accuracy, a modified MsPSO algorithm is presented here. The most important advantage of the proposed algorithm is the adjustment of fewer parameters in which the main parameter is the inertia weight. In fact, the control of this parameter could facilitate the convergence and prevent an explosion of the swarm. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated by adopting standard tests and indicators which are reported in the specialized literature. The proposed Grey MsPSO is first applied to solve the optimization problems of six benchmark functions and then, compared with the other nine variants of particle swarm optimization. In order to demonstrate the higher search performance of the proposed algorithm, the comparison is then made via two performance tests such as the standard deviation and central processing unit time. To further validate the generalization ability of the Improved OptiFel approach, the proposed algorithm is secondly applied on the Box–Jenkins Gas Furnace system and on a irrigation station prototype. A comparative study based on Mean Square Error is then performed between the proposed approach and other existing methods. As a result, the improved Grey MsPSO is well adopted to find an optimal model for the real processes with high accuracy and strong generalization ability.
