Hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization

This upload contains a hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm for functions in the real space. An options file is also provided, which lets the user fully parameterize the process.

The hybrid function used is the @fminsearch, which is available on the MATLAB core. The PSO performs very well on highly non-linear problems, and the hybrid option makes it perform on simple problems the same well as the ordinary hill-climbing algorithms.

Requirements:

· MATLAB Release: R14
