4. Particle swarm optimization

First understand position, velocity and memory; then solve complete two-iteration minimisation examples.

1. Swarm intelligence, particles, velocity, pbest and gbest
2. Read the PSO equation and work three individual updates
3. Two particles, two iterations: start with the simplest minimisation
4. A worse move: pbest stays in the past
5. Two-dimensional PSO: keep the coordinates separate
6. Class PSO photograph: all three particles through iteration 2
7. PSO algorithm, architecture, advantages and limitations
