Adaptive particle swarm optimization on individual level

An adaptive particle swarm optimization (PSO) on individual level is presented. By analyzing the social model of PSO, a replacement criterion, based on the diversity of fitness between the current particle and the best historical experience, is introduced to maintain the social attribution of swarm adaptively by taking off inactive particles. The testing of three benchmark functions indicates that it improves the average performance effectively.
