Particle Swarm Optimization
The PSO algorithm has been inspired from the flocking behavior of birds in nature.
In this algorithm, each particle is considered to be a solution for a given optimization
problem. It ismade of two vectors: position and velocity. The position vector includes
the values for each of the variables in the problem. If the problem has two parameters,
for instance, the particles will have position vectors with two dimensions. Each
particle will then be able to move in an n-dimensional search space where n is the
number of variables. To update the position of particles, the second vector (velocity)
is considered. This vector defines the magnitude and direction of step size for each
dimension and each particle independently.
Swarm Intelligence
PSO is one of the many swarm intelligence methods out there. In this area, collective behaviours of creatures that lead to problem-solving and intelligence are investigated.

Hybrid PSO and GSA
Binary Particle Swarm Optimization
One of my earliest works in the field :) Hybridizing PSO and other algorithms wes so much fun. Still a good are to work on, so feel free to use my code.
Binary version of PSO and GSA
PSO with autonomous groups of particles
This is the binary version of PSOGSA called BPSOGSA.

In this work, I divided particles into sub-swarms with different behaviors.
