Particle Swarm Optimization: Fundamentals and Applications

Particle swarm optimization, often known as PSO, is a computer method that was developed in the field of computational science. This method optimizes a problem by iteratively trying to improve a candidate solution with relation to a specific measure of quality. It solves a problem by having a population of potential solutions, which are referred to as particles here, and moving these particles around in the search space in accordance with a basic mathematical formula over the particle's position and velocity. This method is called particle-based search. The movement of each particle is led toward the best known positions in the search space, which are updated when better places are identified by other particles. However, the movement of each particle is also impacted by its best known position in its local region. It is anticipated that this will direct the hive toward the optimal options.
