On the moments of the sampling distribution of particle swarm optimisers
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...

Exact analysis of the sampling distribution for the canonical particle swarm optimiser and its convergence during stagnation
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...
