A niche-related particle swarm meta-heuristic algorithm for dealing with multimodal optimization problem is proposed in this paper. The inspiration and numerical algorithm are presented and the Rastrigin function with numerous local optima is adopted as the illustrative example. Proposed multimodal particle swarm optimization (MPSO) is sensitive to predetermined multimodal numbers, particle numbers, niche radius, and convergent iterations. The results show that the proposed MPSO is accurate and stable. The presented MPSO is ready for applied engineering optimization and further application.
