A Study on Particle Trajectory of Particle Swarm Optimization
Zhen Zhou An, Hui Xiang Zhou, Yang Yang, Xin Ling Shi · Applied Mechanics and Materials · 2013
For studying the sensitivity of PSO to control parameter choices, this paper proposes a special model of PSO theoretically. This model divides the position sequence of particle into the odd and even sub-sequences. The theorem demonstrates the position sequence of particle is affected by the parameter choices, the initialized position and velocity. Simulations for benchmark functions illustrate the validity of the odd-even property of particle trajectory.
