Bassimir, BerndRaß, AlexanderSchmitt, Manuel2021-06-212021-06-212019https://dl.gi.de/handle/20.500.12116/36656This paper presents a survey on different showcases for potential measures on particle swarm optimization (PSO). First, a potential is analyzed to prove convergence to non-optimal points. Second, one can apply a minor modification to PSO to prevent convergence to non-optimal points by using an easy potential measure. Finally, analyzing this potential measure yields a reliable stopping criterion for the modified PSO.enParticle swarm optimizationpotentialmeta-heuristicsTheory of particle swarm optimization: A survey of the power of the swarm’s potentialText/Journal Article10.1515/itit-2019-00042196-7032
