We introduce the PESO+ algorithm (Particle Evolutionary Swarm Optimization Plus) for the solution of single objective constrained optimization problems. A novel feature introduced by PESO+ is an external archive to store and retrieve "tolerant" particles found at past tolerance values. This technique is aimed to preserve particles that otherwise would be lost after the adjustment of the tolerance of equality constraints. Also, two perturbation operators, "c-perturbation" and "m-perturbation" are described. The goal of these operators is to keep diversity and to prevent premature convergence. The constraint handling technique is based on feasibility and summation of constraint violations. All experimental results are reported as required by the organizers of the special session on "Constrained Real Parameter Optimization" at CEC2006.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
