Abstract

The particle swarm optimization algorithm is an algorithm to find optimal regions of complex spaces through the interaction of individuals. Convergence analysis and parameter selection in the particle swarm optimization algorithm have been discussed in [2] and [7]. In this paper, the particle swarm optimization algorithm is analyzed further by using standard results from the dynamic system theory. Thus, we derived graphical parameter guidelines from it. Finally, we analyze the convergence of the algorithm by some examples.
