How to use pso_Trelea_vectorized?

Hello, I am trying to use pso_Trelea_vectorized, a generic particle swarm optimizer to find the minimum or maximum of a given matlab function, it was created by Brian Birge. Although, I am getting problems from the first line code. If you used this toolbox or you know how to implement it, can you give an example to know how to do so? Thank you.

Hi Imane,

The pso_Trelea_vectorized function is part of a particle swarm optimization (PSO) toolbox developed by Brian Birge. This function is designed to perform optimization using the PSO algorithm. To use this function, you need to have the PSO toolbox functions available in your MATLAB environment.

Here are the steps on how to use pso_Trelea_vectorized to find the minimum of a given MATLAB function:

Example: Using pso_Trelea_vectorized

1. Setup the Objective Function: Define the function you want to optimize. For demonstration purposes, let's use a simple quadratic function, such as ( f(x) = x^2 ).
2. Define the PSO Parameters: Set up the parameters needed by the PSO function, such as the number of particles, the number of iterations, and the bounds for the search space.
3. Call the PSO Function: Use pso_Trelea_vectorized to perform the optimization.

% Define the objective function
objectiveFunction = @(x) x.^2;  % Example: A simple quadratic function

% PSO parameters
numParticles = 30;  % Number of particles in the swarm
numIterations = 100;  % Number of iterations
lowerBounds = -10;  % Lower bound for the search space
upperBounds = 10;   % Upper bound for the search space

% PSO options
options = struct();
options.PopulationSize = numParticles;
options.Generations = numIterations;
options.VelocityLimit = 0.2 * (upperBounds - lowerBounds);
options.ConstrictionFactor = 1.0;  % Optional: Constriction factor

% Call the PSO function
[bestPosition, bestValue] = pso_Trelea_vectorized(objectiveFunction, 1, [], [], [], lowerBounds, upperBounds, options);

% Display the results
fprintf('Best position found: %f\n', bestPosition);
fprintf('Best value found: %f\n', bestValue);

Hope this helps.
