Crossover Operation of Random Drift Particle Swarm Optimization

Abstract

In order to enhance the global search capability, a crossover operation based on RDPSO algorithm(CO-RDPSO) is put forward. Through crossover operation, particles can skip the local optimum and strengthen the global search capability. Test CO-RDPSO with twelve functions, the experiment results directions, CO-RDPSO not only obtains better results but also converge faster than other algorithms both on unimodal or multimodal.
