Variables

xk = current position of particle k

vk = current velocity of particle k

pk = best position found by particle k

Q(x) = quality of position x

g = index of best position found so far

i.e., g = argmaxk Q(pk)

f1, f2 = random variables uniformly distributed over [0, 2]

w = inertia


	Q(x) is quality of a position x
	Reason why [0, 2] will be explained shortly
	(K&E)
