Here we are finished on a new machine. The last two machines broke down. But I finished before new years.
The PSO - Partical Swarm Optimization algorithm has a number of particals each having a velocity and a position vector, the position denotes a solution to De Jongs classic sphere optimization problem. See
ref .
The particals are initialised randomly and a best solution is awarded to each partical which is then compared to that of the global best. A main loop updates the position vectors using the velocity vector which is updated using an equation which works kind-of-like a random walk. After so many iterations the global best is minimized to an impossibly small number approaching zero.
This was a fun project and with more tinkering I hope to produce a graphical output using opengl and aswell as applying other optimization problems I am hoping to have it switch between the naturally observed flocking behaviours used by the Artificial Life Algorithms -
Boids. It would be interesting to see if flocking behaviours can benefit the convergence to optimal solutions making it a hybrid between the two very different algorithms.
Firstly here is the basic PSO algo in C++. Enjoy.
