Differential evolution: Performances and analyses
Abstract
In this paper, we apply Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm in combination with a recently proposed constraint-handling strategy and study the performance 01' the resulting algorithm on CEC'13 test suite [1], and other constrained optimization problems. The goal of this exercise is to clearly identify and highlight the challenges encountered with the DE search while solving a range of optimization problems. We emphasize that understanding and resolving fundamental issues of a search procedure and considering the nature of the optimization problems at hand is the key to effective deployment of evolutionary procedures for search and optimization.
