Chaos driven PSO with ensemble of priority factors

In this paper a new approach for PSO algorithm driven by chaotic pseudorandom number generator is investigated. The ensemble learning method that has been successfully implemented in many evolutionary computational techniques is applied here for the selection of priority factors in the velocity calculations formula. The goal is to improve the performance of chaos driven PSO. The promising results are compared with previously published results of SPSO-2011 on the CEC´ 13 benchmark set. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 201
