An alternative differential evolution algorithm for global optimization

The purpose of this paper is to present a new and an alternative differential evolution (ADE) algorithm for solving unconstrained global optimization problems. In the new algorithm, a new directed mutation rule is introduced based on the weighted difference vector between the best and the worst individuals of a particular generation. The mutation rule is combined with the basic mutation strategy through a linear decreasing probability rule. This modification is shown to enhance the local search ability of the basic DE and to increase the convergence rate. Two new scaling factors are introduced as uniform random variables to improve the diversity of the population and to bias the search direction. Additionally, a dynamic non-linear increased crossover probability scheme is utilized to balance the global exploration and local exploitation. Furthermore, a random mutation scheme and a modified Breeder Genetic Algorithm (BGA) mutation scheme are merged to avoid stagnation and/or premature convergence. Numerical experiments and comparisons on a set of well-known high dimensional benchmark functions indicate that the improved algorithm outperforms and is superior to other existing algorithms in terms of final solution quality, success rate, convergence rate, and robustness. | An alternative differential evolution algorithm for global optimization
