This study proposes a setting method of the important parameter which influences the optimization ability on an Independent-minded Particle Swarm Optimization (IPSO). The proposed parameter is a linear function proportional to the simulation step. We confirm that although it is very simple and does not need additional parameters, the proposed IPSO obtains better results than the standard PSO and the conventional IPSO, for the multimodal functions. From these results, we do not need complicated settings of the parameters and can easily use the IPSO.
