Abstract

In many real-world optimization problems, multimodal function optimization is considered, in fact, we are faced with a multimodal optimization problem. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) and continuous ant colony optimization (ACOR) are two population-based optimization techniques that work based on probability laws. The main problem of PSO and ACOR algorithms is premature convergence and falling into local optima. One way to solve the problems is to use combinational methods. This paper presents a combinational method including PSO and ACOR in order to improve the search process. The proposed algorithm tries to solve the problem. Standard benchmark functions are used in order to evaluate the proposed algorithm, proposed method was compared with ACOR, PSO and sequential approach with the enlarged pheromone-particle table of the composition of PSO and ACOR Introduced in [8]. Results show that the proposed method is superior.
