Abstract

In this paper, some comments on the paper Solteiro Pires et al. (Nonlinear Dyn. 67:893–901, 2010) are presented. We demonstrate that the authors of the above paper have deduced the incorrect formula about the velocity updating strategy of the fractional-order particle swarm optimization algorithm. This paper deduces the modified updating formula, and verified experiments are also conducted.
