Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is the well-known metaheuristic algorithm for optimization, inspired from swarm of species.PSO can be used in various problems solving related to engineering and science inclusive of but not restricted to increase the heat transfer of systems, to diagnose the health problem using PSO based on microscopic imaging. One of the limitations with Standard-PSO and other swarm based algorithms is large computational time as position vectors are dense. In this study, a sparse initialization based PSO (Sparse-PSO) algorithm has been proposed. Comparison of proposed Sparse-PSO with Standard-PSO has been done through evaluation over several standard benchmark objective functions. Our proposed Sparse-PSO method takes less computation time and provides better solution for almost all benchmark objective functions as compared to Standard-PSO method.
