Overview of differential evolution algorithm
HU Xiao-hong · Computer Engineering and Applications Journal · 2009
Differential Evolution (DE) which has been given more attention is a new intelligence algorithm by cooperation and evolution of swarm after GA,PSO,ACS etc.There are three operators in DE,mutation,crossover and selection.DE utilizes the differential information of individuals in the current population of solutions to guide its further search.Many results of experiments show that DE is effective and has robust character.This paper analyzes the principle of DE and introduces some researchful fruits.At last,suggestion of next research and prospect are given.
