Abstract: Considering that the standard PSO easily falls into local optimization when it solves the multi-extremum problems, an improved PSO algorithm is proposed. In this algorithm, the evolution process is divided into two stages, while each stage uses a different model, so the possibility of getting local extreme value is reduced by making full use of the respective advantages of the two evolution model. The results of simulation show that the proposed algorithm has the better optimization performance than the standard PSO when solving the multi-extremum problems.
