Abstract

Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a population-based swarm intelligence algorithm and it has attracted a large number of widespread researchers. As a branch of PSO, a probabilistic PSO algorithm, which is quantum-behaved PSO (QPSO), was proposed on the quantum mechanics and trajectory analysis of PSO. QPSO shines for its simplicity, easy implementation, and fine search ability. QPSO has also gained many researchers on its improvements and has been shown to offer good performance in a variety of applications. This paper attempts to give a compendious and timely review on QPSO by categorizing the publications on the improvements and applications.
