Heterogeneous Differential Evolution for Numerical Optimization
نویسندگان
چکیده
Differential evolution (DE) is a population-based stochastic search algorithm which has shown a good performance in solving many benchmarks and real-world optimization problems. Individuals in the standard DE, and most of its modifications, exhibit the same search characteristics because of the use of the same DE scheme. This paper proposes a simple and effective heterogeneous DE (HDE) to balance exploration and exploitation. In HDE, individuals are allowed to follow different search behaviors randomly selected from a DE scheme pool. Experiments are conducted on a comprehensive set of benchmark functions, including classical problems and shifted large-scale problems. The results show that heterogeneous DE achieves promising performance on a majority of the test problems.

MULTI-OBJECTIVE OPTIMIZATION OF ARCH DAMS USING DIFFERENTIAL EVOLUTION METHODS
For optimization of real-world arch dams, it is unavoidable to consider two or more conflicting objectives. This paper employs two multi-objective differential evolution algorithms (MoDE) in combination of a parallel working MATLAB-APDL code to obtain a set of Pareto solutions for optimal shape of arch dams. Full dam-reservoir interaction subjected to seismic loading is considered. A benchmark ...

متن کاملFree Search in Multidimensional Space
One of the challenges for modern search methods is resolving multidimensional tasks where optimization parameters are hundreds, thousands and more. Many evolutionary, swarm and adaptive methods, which perform well on numerical test with up to 10 dimensions are suffering insuperable stagnation when are applied to the same tests extended to 50, 100 and more dimensions. This article presents an or...
