Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) has emerged as a powerful metaheuristic global optimization approach over the past three decades. Its appeal lies in its ability to tackle complex multidimensional problems that defy conventional algorithms. However, PSO faces challenges, such as premature stagnation in single-objective scenarios and the need to strike a balance between exploration and exploitation. Hybridizing PSO by integrating its cooperative nature with established optimization techniques from diverse paradigms offers a promising solution. In this paper, we investigate various strategies for synergizing gradient-based optimizers with PSO. We introduce different hybridization principles and explore several approaches, including sequential decoupled hybridization, coupled hybridization, and adaptive hybridization. These strategies aim to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of PSO, ultimately improving its ability to navigate intricate optimization landscapes. By combining the strengths of gradient-based methods with the inherent social dynamics of PSO, we seek to address the critical objectives of intelligent exploration and exploitation in complex optimization tasks. Our study delves into the comparative merits of these hybridization techniques and offers insights into their application across different problem domains.
