Enhanced Binary Particle Swarm Optimization (BPSO) with 6 new transfer functions
This work includes 8 different versions of Binary Particle Swarm optimization (BPSO) algorithm. Six of them utilize new transfer functions divided into two families: s-shaped and v-shaped.
The V4 (in BPSO8) transfer function which show the highest performance is called VPSO and highly recommended to use.
