Accelerated particle swarm optimization of pattern synthesis

Optimal detector design for molecular communication systems using an improved swarm intelligence algorithm

“…We call the proposed optimisation algorithm as the acceleration-aided PSO (A-APSO), inspired by recent advances in signal processing [16]. It is important to note that the abbreviation 'APSO' has already been adopted in the literature for modified PSO algorithms, where the terms 'accelerated' or 'acceleration' characterise the convergence speed of the algorithm [11,[17][18][19][20]. However, by utilising fundamental laws of physics, the A-APSO framework introduced here enriches the swarm intelligence theory with the involvement of the acceleration factor of the swarm in the model equations.…”
