HECO‐PSO: Hierarchical and Stagnation‐Aware Particle Swarm Optimization With Elite‐Guided Crossover

This paper proposes a Hierarchical and Stagnation‐Aware Particle Swarm Optimization with Elite‐Guided Crossover (HECO‐PSO). HECO‐PSO dynamically partitions the swarm into multiple parallel layers, enabling independent exploration and periodic information exchange to mitigate premature convergence. Within each layer, el...
