Abstract

In Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), setting the inertia weight w is one of the most important topics. The inertia weight was introduced into PSO to balance between itsglobal and local search abilities. In this paper, first, wepropose a method to adaptively adjust the inertia weight based on particle's velocity information. Second, we utilize both position and velocity information to adaptively adjust the inertia weight. The proposed methodsare then tested on benchmark functions. The simulation results illustrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed algorithm by comparing it with other existingPSOs.
