The paper develops a Multi-swarm particle swarm optimization (MPSO) to overcome the premature convergence problem. MPSO takes advantage of multiple sub-swarms with mixed search behavior to maintain the swarm diversity, and introduces cooperative mechanism to prompt the information exchange among sub...
