Multi-phase generalization of the particle swarm optimization algorithm
B. Al-kazemi, Chilukuri Krishna Mohan · 2003
Multi-phase particle swarm optimization is a new algorithm to be used for discrete and continuous problems. In this algorithm, different groups of particles have trajectories that proceed with differing goals in different phases of the algorithm. On several benchmark problems, the algorithm outperforms standard particle swarm optimization, genetic algorithm, and evolution programming.
