To solve the premature convergence problem of the conventional differential evolution, an improved differential evolution algorithm is proposed in this paper. The proposed algorithm introduces mixed distribution mutation operation which combines gaussian distribution mutation and cauchy distribution mutation by a proportion for maintaining the balance of the exploration and exploitation. Experimental results show that the novel algorithm achieves better performance.
