Abstract

Abstract : Simplified forms of the particle swarm algorithm are very beneficial in contributing to understanding how a particle swarm optimization (PSO) swarm functions. One of these forms, PSO with discrete recombination, is extended and analyzed, demonstrating not just improvements in performance relative to a standard PSO algorithm, but also significantly different behavior, namely, a reduction in bursting patterns due to the removal of stochastic components from the update equations.
