Particle Swarm Optimizer with Aging Operator for Multimodal Function Optimization

This paper proposes a new scheme for preventing a Particle Swarm Optimizer from premature convergence on multimodal optimization problems. Instead of only using fitness evaluation, we use a new index called particle age to guide population towards more promising region of the search space. The parti...
