When investigating the convergence of a particle swarm optimization, the stability of the particle dynamics must be guaranteed first. When analyzing stability of particle dynamics, most studies assume that the particle swarm has only one particle and that the positions of the optimum particle and the locally optimum particle are fixed and invariable. Furthermore, the randomicity of particle movement is omitted. These assumptions ignore the essence of particle movement in a particle swarm optimization. Starting from the evaluation function, this paper proved the existence of the attraction position, taking into consideration the exchangeability among multiple particles. It also analyzed the movement of particles using the stochastic process theory, proving that the position sequence of the optimum particle is continuously approaching the attraction position. Finally, considering the randomicity of particle movement and using the timevarying model, the Lyapunov energy function was constructed and the condition for stability of any particle’s movement in the particle swarm was given.
