Abstract
A continuous version of particle swarm optimization (CPSO) is employed to solve uncapacitated facility location (UFL) problem which is one of the most widely studied in combinatorial optimization. The basic algorithm had already been published in the Research Article “A Discrete Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm for Uncapacitated Facility Location Problem” [1]. But in addition to that, the algorithm is slightly modified here to get better result in a lesser time. To make a reasonable comparison, the same benchmark suites that are collected from OR-library [6] are applied here. In conclusion, the results showed that this modified CPSO algorithm is slightly better than the published CPSO algorithm.
