The fuzzy C means clustering is used to divide the swarms adaptively
and a fuzzy C means multi-swarms competitive PSO(FCMCPSO)algorithm is proposed.According to the scale of the swarms to select different optimal strategies
the swarm of large scale uses the standard particle swarm algorithm to optimize
and the swarm of small scale randomly searches in the optimal solution neighborhood
increasing the probability of jumping out of the local optimization.Within every clustering
the adaptive value of every clustering swarm by competitive learning is respectively found and arranged the order of the different adaptive value
and then the swarm of small adaptive value integrates with the neighboring swarm of large adaptive value
ensuring the particle swarms to search towards the optimal solution by the competition in the swarms.The validity was tested by the benchmark functions to improve the global search capability.At last
the proposed algorithm was used to optimize the operational conditions of high density polyethylene(HDPE)equipment in order to decrease the consumption of ethylene.
