The values b<sub>lo</sub> and b<sub>up</sub> represents the lower and upper boundaries of the search-space. The termination criterion can be the number of iterations performed, or a solution where the adequate objective function value is found. The parameters ω, φ<sub>p</sub>, and φ<sub>g</sub> are selected by the practitioner and control the behaviour and efficacy of the PSO method, see below. | The values b<sub>lo</sub> and b<sub>up</sub> represents the lower and upper boundaries of the search-space.
