A Modified PSO Algorithm with the Concept of Intrinsic Repulsive Field

An improved Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm is proposed in this article. Inspired by the existence of Intermolecular Forces in physics, we bring particles that are influenced by repulsion in this Algorithm to keep the population active at all the stages. Meanwhile, the convergence speed can be assured because of the existence of particles that implement Standard Particle Swarm Optimization. Experimental results show that this improved algorithm can effectively solve the local optimal problems.
