Opposition-Based Barebones Particle Swarm for Constrained Nonlinear Optimization Problems

Table 3

Comparison results of OBPSO with other three PSO algorithms, where “ ” means that OBPSO wins in functions, ties in functions, and loses in functions, compared with its competitors. The best results among the four algorithms are shown in bold.
