Abstract:
Convergence properties of a particle and a swarm decide about their performance. Particularly, one of these properties is a time, that is, a number of particle steps necessary to reach an equilibrium state. This is a subject of presented analysis. Generalized weak versions of measures: particle convergence expected time (pcet) and the particle location variance convergence time (pvct) as well as a new measure for evaluation of steps number necessary to reach equilibrium state, namely particle stability time, are proposed. For all the measures graphs of estimated and recorded values are presented.
