On the performance of the particle swarm optimization algorithm with various inertia weight variants for computing optimal control of a class of hybrid systems

This paper presents an alternative and efficient method for solving the optimal control of single-stage hybrid manufacturing systems which are composed with two different categories: continuous dynamics and discrete dynamics. Three different inertia weights, a constant inertia weight (CIW), time-var...
