This article investigates various aspects of angle modulated particle swarm optimisers (AMPSO). Previous attempts at improving the algorithm have only been able to produce better results in a handful of test cases. With ...

This paper illustrates the importance of independent, component-wise stochastic scaling values, from both a theoretical and empirical perspective. It is shown that a swarm employing scalar stochasticity is unable to express ...

This paper’s primary aim is to provide clarity on which guarantees about particle stability can actually be made. The particle swarm optimization algorithm has undergone a considerable amount of theoretical analysis. ...

At present particle swarm optimizers (PSO) designed for multi-objective optimization have undergone no form of theoretical stability analysis. This paper derives the sufficient and necessary conditions for order-1 and ...
