This paper derives a simplified theorem for obtaining stability criteria of a class of particle swarm optimization algorithms, without imposing restrictions on the relationships between control coefficients. The theorem is demonstrated by deriving stability criteria for four popular PSO algorithms without the imposed restrictions.
This paper derives, under minimal modelling assumptions, a simple to use theorem for obtaining both order-1 and order-2 stability criteria for a common class of particle swarm optimization (PSO) variants. Specifically, PSO variants that can be rewritten as a finite sum of stochastically weighted difference vectors between a particle's position and swarm informers are covered by the theorem. Additionally, the use of the derived theorem allows a PSO practitioner to obtain stability criteria that contains no artificial restriction on the relationship between control coefficients. The majority of previous stability results for PSO variants provided stability criteria under the restriction that certain control coefficients are equal; such restrictions are not present when using the derived theorem. Using the derived theorem, as demonstration of its ease of use, stability criteria are derived without the imposed restriction on the relation between the control coefficients for four popular PSO variants.
