Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO)
• Each particle tries to modify its position using the following
information:
the current positions,
the current velocities,
the distance between the current position and pbest,
the distance between the current position and the gbest.

Intialization parameters used for PSO:
wMax=0.41
wMin=0.4
(Note:The inertial weight ,w is linearly decreased from wMax to wMin
according the Eq. (2), w is chosen virtually constant in this case for better
local search near the Sun’s Optimized parameters.)
