Self-Adaptive Differential Evolution Algorithm Applied to Water Distribution System Optimization

Parametric Analysis of Differential Evolution Algorithm Applied to Water Distribution System Optimization

Differential evolution (DE),as one of the evolutionary algorithms, has recently been employed to optimize water distribution systems (WDSs). Several parameters need to be determined in the use of DE, including: population size, N; mutation weighting factor, F; and crossover rate, CR. The search behaviour of DE is governed by these three parameters. The objective of this paper is to investigate ...

OPTIMAL DESIGN OF WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM USING CENTRAL FORCE OPTIMIZATION AND DIFFERENTIAL EVOLUTION

For any agency dealing with the design of the water distribution network, an economic design will be an objective. In this research, Central Force Optimization (CFO) and Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm were used to optimize Ismail Abad water Distribution network. Optimization of the network has been evaluated by developing an optimization model based on CFO and DE algorithm in MATLAB and ...

Well Placement Optimization Using Differential Evolution Algorithm

Determining the optimal location of wells with the aid of an automated search algorithm is a significant and difficult step in the reservoir development process. It is a computationally intensive task due to the large number of simulation runs required. Therefore,the key issue to such automatic optimization is development of algorithms that can find acceptable solutions with a minimum numbe...

Developing Adaptive Differential Evolution as a New Evolutionary Algorithm, Application in Optimization of Chemical Processes

The Self–Adaptive Pareto Differential Evolution Algorithm

The Pareto Differential Evolution (PDE) algorithm was introduced last year and showed competitive results. The behavior of PDE, as in many other evolutionary multiobjective optimization (EMO) methods, varies according to the crossover and mutation rates. In this paper, we present a new version of PDE with self-adaptive crossover and mutation. We call the new version Self–adaptive Pareto Differe...
