Research on an Improved Differential Evolution Algorithm based on Three Strategies for Solving Complex Function

For the shortcomings of differential evolution algorithm(DE), such as the low convergence rate in the late evolution, easy to trap into the local optimal solution, and weak situation of the global search ability and the stability of optimization, an improved differential evolution algorithm based on multi-population and dynamic local search(MPDLSDE) is proposed in this paper. In the MPDLSDE algorithm, different populations select different mutation operation model in order to obtain superiority reciprocity between different models in the process of evolution. And the random selected method and small probability perturbation are used to increase the diversity of population and balance the exploitation ability and exploration ability of the algorithm. Then dynamic local search method is used to solve the current optimal solution in order to speed up the convergence rate. Several well-known benchmark functions are selected to validate the efficiency of the MPDLSDE algorithm. The simulation experiment and comparative analysis results show that the MPDLSDE algorithm can enhance the global convergence ability and get the high accuracy solution in high dimensional complex optimization problems.
