The standard Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm referenced here represents one of the most commonly used optimization techniques. This algorithm simulates the foraging behavior of bird flocks to search for optimal solutions. In PSO implementation, each particle corresponds to a potential solution and updates its position based on both its personal best experience (pBest) and the global best solution (gBest) discovered by the entire swarm. The core velocity update formula typically follows: v_i(t+1) = w*v_i(t) + c1*r1*(pBest_i - x_i(t)) + c2*r2*(gBest - x_i(t)), where w denotes inertia weight, c1/c2 are acceleration coefficients, and r1/r2 represent random values. This algorithm has been extensively applied to solve various optimization problems including function optimization, parameter tuning, and machine learning tasks. Key implementation considerations involve setting swarm size, iteration limits, and boundary constraints for effective convergence.
