As a new kind of evolutionary algorithms, differential evolution (DE) has attracted much attention in solving optimization problems in the last few years. To accelerate its convergence rate and enhance its performances, this paper introduces a dynamic adjustment method for the differential factor and a modified version of mutation strategy into DE. Furthermore, a disturbance approach based on population...
The particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO) has successfully been applied to many engineering optimization problems. However, most of the existing improved PSO algorithms work well only for small-scale problems. In this new self-adaptive PSO, a special function, which is defined in terms of the particle fitness and swarm size, is introduced to adjust the inertia weight adaptively. In a given generation,...
Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) are well-known optimization approaches to deal with nonlinear and complex problems. However, these population-based algorithms are computationally expensive due to the slow nature of the evolutionary process. This paper presents a novel algorithm to accelerate the differential evolution (DE). The proposed opposition-based DE (ODE) employs opposition-based learning (OBL)...
