Particle Swarm Optimization is swarm based optimization technique. Swarm consists of particles and the particles fly through the problem space in Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). Confinement methods and parameters such as Inertia Weight, Neighborhood of the particle have major impact on PSO performance. The paper presents variations of the PSO with adaptive random link neighborhood. The work carried out considers linearly decreasing inertia weight and different confinement methods. The performance of adaptive random link PSO by geometrical updation of velocity with confinement methods is tested here.
