Predatory Search Strategy Based on Swarm Intelligence for Continuous Optimization Problems

Algorithm 1

Pseudocode of the PSS-PSO algorithm.

Begin

Choose 𝑥 randomly from 𝜓

while 𝑙<𝐿

   initialize 𝑚 particles in 𝑁 (𝑥, restriction(𝑙))

   for (𝑖=0;𝑖<𝐼;𝑖++)

      for (𝑐=0;𝑐<𝑛;𝑐++)

         update swarm based on standard PSO equations

         if 𝑔<𝑝 then 𝑝=𝑔

      end for

      𝑥=𝑝

      if 𝑓(𝑥)<𝑓(𝑏) then

      𝑏=𝑥, 𝑙=0, 𝑖=0, re-compute 𝐿 restrictions

   end for

   𝑙=𝑙+1

   if 𝑙=[𝐿/5] then

      𝑙=𝐿−[𝐿/𝑆]

End while
