Σύνοψη	Deterministic Particle Swarm Optimization (DPSO) removes the stochastic random coefficients from classical PSO, replacing them with fixed cognitive and social acceleration parameters. Particles move through the search space following fully predictable trajectories, enabling reproducible convergence analysis and guaranteed termination behavior in continuous and combinatorial optimization problems.	Stochastic Particle Swarm Optimization (Stochastic PSO) is a swarm-intelligence metaheuristic that extends the standard PSO framework by incorporating explicit stochastic elements — random inertia weights, probabilistic velocity resets, or noise injections — to escape local optima and maintain population diversity throughout the search. It is widely applied to continuous, mixed, and noisy optimization problems in engineering, operations research, and simulation-based design.
