Assignment 3 PSO

This document provides instructions for an assignment to optimize three non-convex functions using particle swarm optimization (PSO) techniques. Students are to: 1) Use PSO with time varying acceleration coefficients (PSO-TVAC) to find the global minimum of their assigned function. 2) Run PSO-TVAC 100 times and record results to analyze convergence. 3) Also use a hybrid PSO-LMDN method, using PSO-TVAC results as inputs to the LMDN local minimization method. The report should include tables and plots comparing the results of the two optimization methods.

Assignment 3: Particle Swarm Optimization
Session: 2016 - 2017 (Autumn)
M.Tech 1st Semester and Dual Degree 7th Semester
Subject Name: Soft Computing Techniques
Subject Code: EE-637
General Instructions: Create a new folder and name it as your roll number. Save all files generated for this
assignment in that folder only. Zip the folder and attach for submission. Create a word document to show your results
(figures, tables etc.) Zip the file together. Three standard non-convex functions are randomly distributed among the
students. Refer the file student function.pdf for details. It will be sufficient to optimize the assigned function for
submission.

Number of particles in the swarm N = 20.


Maximum number of iterations = 20.

2. Minimize the function f1 / f2 / f3 using Hybrid PSO-LMDN technique. For this, optimize
the function using PSO-TVAC and use the global best position as the initial value for LMDN
method.
