Human Behavior-Based Particle Swarm Optimization by Hao Liu, Gang Xu, Gui-yan Ding, Yu-bo Sun

“…First, the global worst particle was introduced into the velocity equation of PSO, which is endowed with random weight which obeys the standard normal distribution; this strategy is conducive to trade off exploration and exploitation ability of PSO. Second, we eliminate the two acceleration coefficients c1 and c2 in the standard PSO (SPSO) to reduce the parameters sensitivity of solved problems. …”
