An investigation into the merger of stochastic diffusion search and particle swarm optimisation
Mohammad Majid al‐Rifaie, Mark J. Bishop, Tim Blackwell · 2011
This study reports early research aimed at applying the powerful resource allocation mechanism deployed in Stochastic Diffusion Search (SDS) [4] to the Particle Swarm Optimiser (PSO) metaheuristic [22], effectively merging the two swarm intelligence algorithms. The results reported herein suggest that the hybrid algorithm, exploiting information sharing between particles, has the potential to improve the optimisation capability of conventional PSOs.
