swarm optimization (SMPSO) was applied to minimize water distribution networks cost. The SMPSO

was used as novel factor to decrease inertia weight linearly with time for each iteration to facilitate

the balance of global and local researches. The SMPSO...

A hybrid algorithm by integrating an improved particle swarm optimization (IPSO) with successive quadratic programming (SQP), namely IPSO–SQP, is proposed for solving nonlinear optimal control problems. The particle swarm ...

-PSO), Nonlinear Inertia Weight PSO (NDW-PSO) and Dynamic Inertia Weight PSO

(DIW-PSO) in terms of parameter accuracy and convergence speed. Second, APSO is also improved to

detect and determine varying parameters. In this case, a sentry particle...
