An Empirical Performance Analysis of Differential Evolution Variants on Unconstrained Global Optimization Problems
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present an empirical, comparative performance, analysis of fourteen Differential Evolution (DE) variants on different classes of unconstrained global optimization benchmark problems. This analysis has been undertaken, with an objective, to compare and to identify competitive DE variants which perform reasonably well on problems with different features. Towards this, fourteen variants of DE are benchmarked on 14 high dimensional unconstrained test functions grouped by their modality and decomposability viz. unimodal separable, unimodal nonseparable, multimodal separable and multimodal nonseparable. The analysis identifies the overall competitive variants as well as the feature based performances of all the variants.

متن کاملThe modified BFGS method with new secant relation for unconstrained optimization problems
Using Taylor's series we propose a modified secant relation to get a more accurate approximation of the second curvature of the objective function. Then, based on this modified secant relation we present a new BFGS method for solving unconstrained optimization problems. The proposed method make use of both gradient and function values while the usual secant relation uses only gradient values. U...
متن کاملA New Hybrid Conjugate Gradient Method Based on Eigenvalue Analysis for Unconstrained Optimization Problems
In this paper, two extended three-term conjugate gradient methods based on the Liu-Storey ({tt LS}) conjugate gradient method are presented to solve unconstrained optimization problems. A remarkable property of the proposed methods is that the search direction always satisfies the sufficient descent condition independent of line search method, based on eigenvalue analysis. The globa...
متن کاملPopulation Variance Based Empirical Analysis of the Behavior of Differential Evolution Variants
Differential Evolution (DE) is a simple but efficient Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) for stochastic real parameter optimization. With various types of mutation and crossover applicable to DE, there exist many variants of DE. The empirical comparisons between the performances of these variants on chosen benchmarking problems are well reported in literature. However, attempts to analyze the reason f...
