== Specific initialisation? ==
For PSO and DE, it has been proved that, contrarily to the intuition, the pure random initialisation is as good as more "regular" ones:<br />

However, it may be not the same for APS. In particular, as the method is based on simplexes of $D+1$ points, it is perfectly possible that an initialisation method using such simplexes, as "different" as possible, would be better.
