An Improved Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm Based on Centroid and Exponential Inertia Weight

Particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO) is a global stochastic tool, which has ability to search the global optima. However, PSO algorithm is easily trapped into local optima with low accuracy in convergence. In this paper, in order to overcome the shortcoming of PSO algorithm, an improved parti...
