Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is a heuristic global optimization algorithm based on swarm intelligence, inspired by the movement patterns of birds and fish. It is known for its simplicity, ease of implementation, and ability to find optimal solutions with few parameters. The algorithm simulates the behavior of particles searching for the best solution in a multi-dimensional space, where each particle updates its position based on its own best experience and the best experience of the swarm. The basic PSO algorithm uses three principles: inertia, individual experience, and swarm experience. The speed and position of each particle are updated using equations that incorporate personal and global best positions. PSO has several advantages, including simplicity, fast convergence, and the ability to handle complex optimization problems. However, it also has limitations, such as the risk of premature convergence to local optima and difficulty in solving non-coordinated problems. Various improvements have been proposed to enhance PSO's performance, including the use of inertia weights, convergence factors, and selection mechanisms. These improvements aim to balance exploration and exploitation, improving the algorithm's ability to find global optima. Recent research has focused on the mathematical foundations of PSO, its topology, and its integration with other intelligent optimization algorithms such as genetic algorithms and ant colony optimization. The future research directions include strengthening the theoretical foundation of PSO, exploring new topologies for particle swarms, and expanding the application areas of PSO to non-coordinated systems and complex optimization problems. Overall, PSO remains a promising optimization technique with ongoing developments to enhance its effectiveness and applicability.Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is a heuristic global optimization algorithm based on swarm intelligence, inspired by the movement patterns of birds and fish.
