Abstract
To avoid the bored try and error method of finding a set of parameters of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and achieve good optimization performance, it is desired to get an adaptive optimization method to search a good set of parameters. A nested optimization method is proposed in this paper and it can be used to search the tuned parameters such as inertia weight ω, acceleration coefficients c1 and c2, and so on. This method considers the cask theory to achieve a better optimization performance. Several famous benchmarks were used to validate the proposed method and the simulation results showed the efficiency of the proposed method.
