- Abstract
Differential evolution (DE) is an efficient population-based search algorithm for solving numerical optimization problems. However, the performance of DE is very sensitive to the choice of mutation strategies and their associated control parameters. In this paper, we propose a self-adaptive multi-population differential evolution algorithm, called SAMDE. The population is randomly divided into three equally sized sub-populations, each with different mutation strategies. At the end of each generation, all sub-populations are updated independently and recombined. Each sub-population uses an adaptive mechanism for selecting how current generation control parameters are generated. An improved mutation strategy, "rand assemble/1", is proposed, its base vector is composed proportionally of three randomly selected individuals. The performance of SAMDE is evaluated on the suite of CEC 2005 benchmark functions. A comparative study is carried out with other state-of-the-art optimization techniques. The results show that SAMDE has a competitive performance compared to several other efficient DE variants.
