Abstract
In real life, mostly problems are dynamic. Many algorithms have been proposed to handle the static problems, but these algorithms do not handle or poorly handle the dynamic environment problems. Although, many algorithms have been proposed to handle dynamic problems but still, there are some limitations or drawbacks in every algorithm regarding diversity of particles and tracking of already found optima. To overcome these limitations/drawbacks, we have proposed a new efficient algorithm to handle the dynamic environment effectively by tracking and locating multiple optima and by improving the diversity and convergence speed of algorithm. In this algorithm, a new method has been proposed which explore the undiscovered areas of search space to increase the diversity of algorithm. This algorithm also uses a method to effectively handle the overlapped and overcrowded particles. Branke has…
