Title
A new multi-population-based differential evolution
Abstract
Differential evolution DE is an efficient population-based stochastic search algorithm, which has shown good search abilities on many real-world and benchmark optimisation problems. In this paper, we propose a new multi-population-based DE MDE algorithm. In MDE, the original population is divided into multiple subpopulations. For each subpopulation, two DE mutation schemes are alternatives to be conducted. Moreover, a Cauchy mutation operator is utilised to enhance the global search. To verify the performance of MDE, 12 well-known benchmark functions are used in the experiments. Simulation results show that MDE performs better than the standard DE and several other DE variants.
