PSO: the Reason for the Randomicity
Renyue Xiao, Chunchun Wang, Jinhai Yu · 2008
The particle swarm optimization algorithm is a new kind of random optimization algorithm based on the swarm intelligence. It has been used in many field and it work very well. Many papers about the selection of the parameters have been written. This paper shows that the velocity vtof the PSO is cyclic when the parameters are constants. So It gives the reason for the randomicity in the PSO.
