Discrete Differential Evolution Strategy and its Numerical Application
Ming Ming Zhang, Shu Guang Zhao, Xu Wang · Key engineering materials · 2010
Differential evolution is a simple but powerful parallel global search optimization algorithm, which has been successfully used to solve single-objective optimization problems. In this paper, a novel discrete differential evolution strategy (D2E) is proposed to enhance the ability of solving the numerical optimization problems. D2E adopts the difference information from the binary evolutionary individuals and self-adaptive parameter adjustment to effectively explore the global solution space. The results of numerical simulations demonstrate that the proposed strategy is feasible and efficient, has the better metrics performances.
