4.2.1. Initial Weight (wini)

The particle in the PSO is represented as a real-valued vector containing an instance of all parameters that characterize the problem of optimization. By flying a number of particles, called a swarm, the PSO explores the solution space. The initial swarm is generated at random, and generally consecutive iterations maintain a consistent swarm size. The swarm of particles looks for the optimum target solution in each iteration by referring to past experiences.
