Details In this study, we propose to apply the equivalent penalty coeffcient (EPC) method to particle swarm optimization (PSO) where a new solution is compared with the best solution found so far. In order to improve the performance of constrained optimization, a mutation operation is also proposed. The proposed method is examined using two topologies of PSO. The advantage of the proposed method is shown by solving well-known constrained optimization problems and comparing the results with those obtained by PSO with a standard constraint-handling technique.
