Abstract

Multimodal optimization problems (MMOPs) require the algorithm to locate multiple global optima and also achieve a certain accuracy on the found optima. When applying particle swarm optimization (PSO) to solve MMOPs, a fixed population communication topology may not be sufficient to handle these two requirements simultaneously. In this paper, a novel PSO with hybrid ring topology, termed HRTPSO, is proposed for MMOPs. In the early evolutionary process of HRTPSO, a sparse topology is constructed to enhance the population diversity to help locate multiple optima, while in the later evolutionary process of HRTPSO, the population communication topology is switched to a relatively dense topology for improving the convergence efficiency on the found optima. The switch of topology is controlled by a threshold and its effect is also analyzed in this paper. Experimental results on the 20 multimodal functions in CEC'2013 benchmark set show that HRTPSO has better performance than the other six multimodal optimization algorithms.
