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:
Omran, M. G. H.; al Sharhan, S.; Salman, A. & Clerc, M. - Studying the effect of using low-discrepancy sequences to initialize population-based optimization algorithms, Computational Optimization and Applications, 2013, 1-24
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.
