Particle swarm optimization with increasing topology connectivity
A PSO variant, abbreviated as PSO-ITC, is developed. An ITC module is developed to achieve better balance of global/local searches. A new learning framework is proposed to improve algorithm's searching performance. PSO-ITC has prominent searching accuracy and convergence speed in optimization. Results show that PSO-ITC outperforms other PSO variants and MS algorithms.
