Abstract:
Research into setting the values of the acceleration coefficients
C1 and
C2 in particle swarm optimization (PSO) is one of the most significant areas for performance improvement.On the basis of the investigation of
C1 and
C2, this paper present the parameters investigation conclusion and proposed a novel PSO which
C1 and
C2 are generated as a couple of random numbers within a certain range in each iteration process.The experimental results show that the new method performs better than the methods with fixed values of
C1 and
C2 for most benchmark problems tested.
