Chaos driven particle swarm optimization with basic particle performance evaluation – An initial study

Abstract

In this paper, the novel concept of particle performance evaluation is introduced into the chaos driven particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO). The discrete chaotic dissipative standard map is used here as a chaotic pseudorandom number generator (CPRNG). In the novel proposed particle performance evaluation method the contribution of each particle to the process of obtaining the global best solution is investigated periodically. As a reaction to the possible poor performance of a particular particle, its velocity calculation is thereafter altered. Through utilization of this approach the convergence speed and overall performance of PSO algorithm driven by CPRNG based on Dissipative map is improved. The proposed method is tested on the CEC13 benchmark set with two different dimension settings.
