This research introduces LMPSO (Language Model Particle Swarm Optimization), a novel framework that leverages large language models to guide particle swarm optimization for solving complex problems.

• Combines LLM capabilities with swarm intelligence principles to intelligently navigate solution spaces
• Represents particle velocity as prompts that guide the LLM's generation of improved solutions
• Achieves performance improvements over traditional PSO and genetic algorithms
• Reduces dependency on domain-specific expertise for complex optimization challenges

This innovation matters for engineering applications by providing an adaptable optimization framework that can tackle diverse problems without requiring specialized algorithm design for each domain.
