Abstract
A system and method for determining an optimal solution to an optimization problem in a swarm of candidate solutions is provided. The invention comprises generating a population of random particles, where each particle is representative of a candidate solution. Further, a best particle is identified from the generated population of particles. The best particle is representative of an optimal solution. The population of particles is categorised into similar and non-similar particle groups by applying one or more multivariate measurement techniques, and similarity between the particles of the non-similar particle group with best particle is updated by applying an imitation technique. The generated population is updated with updated particles and a new best particle is evaluated from said population. Furthermore, final best particle is determined by further updating the population of particles until one or more target conditions are achieved.
