Comparing border strategies for roaming particles on single and Multi-Swarm PSO

In this paper, the methods for handling particles that violate available search spaces are compared using a single and multi-swarm technique. The methods are soft borders and hypersphere universe. The goal is to compare this approaches and its combination. The comparisons are made on CEC’17 benchmark set functions. The experiments were carried out according to CEC benchmark rules and statistically evaluated. © Springer International Publishing AG 2017.P103/15/06700S, GACR;GAČR, Grantová Agentura České RepublikyGrant Agency of the Czech Republic - GACR [P103/15/06700S]; Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of the Czech Republic within the National Sustainability Programme [LO1303 (MSMT-7778/2014)]; European Regional Development Fund under the Project CEBIA-Tech [CZ.1.05/2.1.00/03.0089]; Internal Grant Agency of Tomas Bata University [IGA/CebiaTech/2017/004
