Multi-chaotic approach for particle acceleration in PSO

Abstract

This paper deals with novel approach for hybridization of two scientific techniques: the evolutionary computational techniques and deterministic chaos. The Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm is enhanced with two pseudo-random number generators based on chaotic systems. The chaotic pseudo-random number generators (CPRNGs) are used to guide the particles movement through multiplying the accelerating constants. Different CPRNGs are used simultaneously in order to improve the performance of the algorithm. The IEEE CEC’13 benchmark suite is used to test the performance of the proposed method. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016.
