Abstract

Previous studies in Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) have emphasized the role of population topologies in particle swarms. These studies have shown that a relationship between the way individuals in a population are organized and their aptitude to find global optima exists. A study of what graph statistics are relevant is of paramount importance. This work presents such a study, which will provide guidelines that can be used by researchers in the field of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) in particular and in the Evolutionary Computation arena in general.
