Weighted Center Particle Swarm Optimization
Baokun Hu, Yusheng Liu, Shuming Gao, Rui Feng Sun, Yue Cao · 2009
A new particle swarm optimization method is put forward in this paper, the proposed approach improves the basic PSO in two aspects: 1) the exclusive gbest is replaced by the weighted center of the whole swarm, which is more stable and proved to be closer to the really optimum position in the searching space; 2) the particle can adjust speed adaptively according to the environment to fly slower in bumpy area and faster in flat area.
