pso - a simple particle swarm optimization

This is a basic particle swarm optimization I wrote as an exercise for university. It is implemented in simple and clean standard C. Included are 4 different optimization problems: sphere, rosenbrock, rastrigin, schwefel.

Particles leaving the search space are evaluated to positive infinity.

Installation

Clone the repository. git clone https://muhq.space/software/pso.git

Build pso by running make in the repository.

Usage

Usage: ./pso [OPTIONS]
OPTIONS:
     -p number of particles
     -h print this help and exit
     -t number of threads
     -i iterations
     -f the function to optimize
         0 - sphere function
         1 - rosenbrock function
         2 - rastrigin function
         3 - schwefel function
     -a the a parameter
     -b the b parameter
