Fission-and-recombination particle swarm optimizers for search of multiple solutions

Abstract

This paper presents the fission-and-recombination particle swarm optimizer (FRPSO) and its application to search of periodic points of a nonlinear dynamical system. The search problem is translated into a multi-solution problem evaluated in a multi-objective problem. The FRPSO is based on the ring topology. The FRPSO is effective to escape from trap of partial/local solutions and to find all the solutions. Performing basic numerical experiments, the algorithm efficiency is investigated.
