Differential Evolution - A simple and efficient adaptive scheme for global optimization over continuous spaces
نویسنده
چکیده
A new heuristic approach for minimizing possibly nonlinear and non differentiable continuous space functions is presented. By means of an extensive testbed, which includes the De Jong functions, it is demonstrated that the new method converges faster and with more certainty than both Adaptive Simulated Annealing and the Annealed Nelder&Mead approach. The new method requires few control variables, is robust, easy to use, and lends itself very well to parallel computation.

متن کاملAn Adaptive Differential Evolution Algorithm to Solve Constrained Optimization Problems in Engineering Design
Differential evolution (DE) algorithm has been shown to be a simple and efficient evolutionary algorithm for global optimization over continuous spaces, and has been widely used in both benchmark test functions and real-world applications. This paper introduces a novel mutation operator, without using the scaling factor F, a conventional control parameter, and this mutation can generate multipl...
متن کاملOPTIMAL DESIGN OF GRAVITY DAM USING DIFFERENTIAL EVOLUTION ALGORITHM
The shape optimization of gravity dam is posed as an optimization problem with goals of minimum value of concrete, stresses and maximum safety against overturning and sliding need to be achieved. Optimally designed structure generally saves large investments especially for a large structure. The size of hydraulic structures is usually huge and thus requires a huge investment. If the optimizatio...
متن کاملControl of nonlinear systems using a hybrid APSO-BFO algorithm: An optimum design of PID controller
This paper proposes a novel hybrid algorithm namely APSO-BFO which combines merits of Bacterial Foraging Optimization (BFO) algorithm and Adaptive Particle Swarm Optimization (APSO) algorithm to determine the optimal PID parameters for control of nonlinear systems. To balance between exploration and exploitation, the proposed hybrid algorithm accomplishes global search over the whole search spa...
