A Novel Distributed Quantum-Behaved Particle Swarm Optimization

Algorithm 1

Framework of MRQPSO.

Step 1. Divide feasible space into several subspace;

Step 2. Construct Mapper which performs QPSO on one subspace and outputs the obtained optimal

solution on this subspace;

Step 3. Construct Reducer which selects the best optimal solution on different subspace from mapper;

Step 4. Output the best optimal solution and its functional value.
