Abstract: In this paper, a new hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm is introduced which makes use of the characteristics of Simulated Annealing method, and the crossover and mutation operations of Genetic Algorithms. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm observes faster convergent rate for a certain class of optimal problems.

Keywords: Particle swarm optimization, crossover, mutation, optimization
