A New Improved Adaptive Hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm

Abstract

This paper introduces the principles and characteristics of Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm, and aims at the shortcoming of PSO algorithm, which is easily plunging into the local minimum, then we proposes a new improved adaptive hybrid particle swarm optimization algorithm. It adopts dynamically changing inertia weight and variable learning factors, which is based on the mechanism of natural selection. The numerical results of classical functions illustrate that this hybrid algorithm improves global searching ability and the success rate.
