Sheng Lei, Wei Liu, Yao He Cai · Applied Mechanics and Materials · 2012
This paper presents a Differential Evolution algorithm based on Self-Adapting Mountain-climbing operator (LCDE) to overcome the problem of low convergence speed and bad local searching ability in the evolution period. The algorithm dynamically adjusts the value of climb radius during using the information of the individual search efficiency in the search process. The experiment results demonstrate that the new differential evolution algorithm has fast convergence speed and high computation precision.
