Abstract

This paper presents a new particle swarm optimizer (PSO) that called the cooperative particle swarm optimizer with elimination mechanism (CPSO-EM) in an attempt to address the issue of getting trapped into local optimum when solving nonseparable multimodal problems using PSO algorithm. The proposed CPSO-EM builds on the basis of an early cooperative PSO (CPSO-H) that employs cooperative behavior. The CPSO-H and elimination mechanism (EM) memory are incorporated together to obtain CPSO-EM. Experimental studies on a set of test functions show that CPSO-EM exhibits better performance in solving nonseparable multimodal problems than several other peer algorithms.
