Three Swarms Cooperative Particle Swarm Optimization

In order to overcome the drawback of basic PSO,such as being subject to falling into local optimization and being poor in performance of precision,an improved PSO algorithm,three swarms(cooperative) particle swarm optimization(TSC-PSO),is proposed.Regarding to several special multimodal functions and singular non-convex functions,the results of simulation show that the TSC-PSO can strengthen the global searching ability and have better optimization performance than basic PSO.
