Detailed Documentation
Many researchers are familiar with Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) as a computational method that mimics social behavior for optimization problems. The algorithm stands out for its simplicity and rapid convergence characteristics. I've developed a MATLAB implementation of PSO that incorporates key components like particle velocity calculation using inertia weight and social/cognitive parameters, position updates through vector addition, and fitness evaluation for optimal solution tracking. The 2D demonstration space was chosen to visually represent how particles navigate through the solution space while maintaining global-best and personal-best positions, making the algorithm's swarm intelligence principles easily observable. This implementation includes configurable parameters for swarm size, iteration limits, and boundary constraints, providing a practical toolkit for those interested in evolutionary computation techniques.
