Abstract—A kind of coding is constructed for location problem of distribution center and then a hybrid particle swarm optimization algorithm is proposed, integrating the particle swarm optimization and the hill climbing algorithm. The particle swarm evolves in the integer space after being integer standardized. This algorithm can solve the problem of low precision and divergence of basic particle swarm optimization algorithm, so it has higher efficiency of search. Compared with basic particle swarm optimization algorithm and genetic algorithm, it has been proved that this algorithm is more effective.

Index Terms—Hill climbing algorithm, hybrid particle swarm algorithm, integer standardization, location of distribution centre.
