Abstract

In the real world, we have to frequently deal with searching for and tracking an optimal solution in a dynamic environment. This demands that the algorithm not only find the optimal solution but also track the trajectory of the solution in a dynamic environment. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is a population-based stochastic optimization technique, which can find an optimal, or near optimal, solution to a numerical and qualitative problem. However, the traditional PSO algorithm lacks the ability to track the optimal solution in a dynamic environment. In this paper, we present a modified PSO algorithm that can be used for tracking a non-stationary optimal solution in a dynamically changing environment.
