It is a vast population of particles, different from one another, each particle competing with the others for a chance to get inside a cell and copy itself.
In formulating the genetic evolution of the Ebola virus, Preston posits "a vast population of particles, different from one another, each particle competing with the others for a chance to get inside a cell and copy itself".
PSO uses a population of particles that fly through the search space to reach an optimum.
A multimodal population of particles ranging from 45 to 180 μm was obtained [100].
Thus, the evaluation of each associate fitness values of the new population of particles begins again.
Like a GA, the PSO also begins by generating a population of particles at random.
In this work, particle-overheating phenomena are modeled for an entire population of particles.
The PSO models the exploration of a problem space by a population of particles.
A two-dimensional particle encoding method is adopted to generate the initial population of particles.
To approximate the collision operator (Omega _{i}) defined (Omega _{i}) in terms of known variable i.e. distribution function (f_{i}) (population of particles) and equilibrium distribution function (f_{i}^{eq}) (population of particles at equilibrium condition).
x ′← redistribute( m,x) returns the new population of particles, x ′, where m, as mentioned previously, defines the number of replications of each of the old population of particles, x.
