Hybrid algorithm based on particle swarm optimization and artificial fish swarm algorithm

A hybrid algorithm based on particle swarm optimization(PSO) and artificial fish swarm algorithm(AFSA) is proposed. It combines the advantages of PSO and AFSA. The improved AFSA is introduced into PSO at the iteration. The following behavior and swarming behavior of AFSA are performed on two sub-swarms simultaneously. The proposed algorithm increases the variety of the population and improves the accuracy of the solution.
