A method is presented that allows one to exactly determine all the characteristics of a PSO’s sampling distribution and explain how it changes over time, in the presence stochas...
Geometric particle swarm optimization (GPSO) is a recently introduced generalization of traditional particle swarm optimization (PSO) that applies to all combinatorial spaces. The...
—Particle Swarm Optimisation (PSO) is increasingly being applied to optimisation of multi-objective problems in engineering design and scientific investigation. This paper inves...
Abstract— Peer-to-peer based distributed computing environments can be expected to be dynamic to greater of lesser degree. While node losses will not usually lead to catastrophic...
Several theoretical analyses of the dynamics of particle swarms have been offered in the literature over the last decade. Virtually all rely on substantial simplifications, incl...
