Abstract
This paper proposes variants of the angle modulated particle swarm optimization (AMPSO) algorithm. A number of limitations of the original AMPSO algorithm are identified and the proposed variants aim to remove these limitations. The new variants are then compared to AMPSO on a number of binary problems in various dimensions. It is shown that the performance of the variants is superior to AMPSO in many problem cases. This indicates that the identified limitations may have a significant effect on performance, but that the effects can be overcome by removing those limitations. It is also observed that the ability of the variants to initialize a wider range of potential solutions can be helpful during the search process.
