Gaoyang Li, Mingguang Liu · 2010
Differential evolution algorithm as a global optimization method in engineering field has broad applicability. In order to facilitate researchers studying differential evolution algorithm, this paper expounds, comparatives and analyses the differential evolution algorithm and its improved measures based on researching materials of differential evolution algorithm at home and abroad. It shows that differential evolution algorithm is simple, easy to use, various improvements have improved differential evolution algorithm's optimization capability in varying degrees. The future should strengthen the basic theory and collaborative optimization ways research of differential evolution algorithm.
