This paper presents a novel discrete particle swarm optimization (PSO) based on estimation of distribution (EDA), named DPSO-EDA, for terminal assignment problem (TEAP). EDAs sample new solutions from a probability model which characterizes the distribution of promising solutions in the search space at each generation. The DPSO-EDA incorporates the global statistical information collected from personal best solutions of all particles into the PSO, and therefore each particle has comprehensive learning and search ability. Simulation results on several problem instances show that the DPSO-EDA is better than previous methods.
Keywords:combinatorial optimization; discrete particle swarm optimization; estimation of distribution; terminal assignment problem
