Differential evolution (DE) is a powerful evolutionary algorithm for global optimization problems. Generally, appropriate mutation strategies and proper equilibrium between global exploration and local exploitation are significant to the performance of DE. From this consideration, in this paper, we present a novel DE variant, abbreviated to DMIE-DE, to further enhance the optimization capacity of DE by developing a dual mutations collaboration mechanism with elites guiding and inferiors eliminating techniques. More specifically, an explorative mutation strategy DE/current-to-embest with an elite individual serving as part of the difference vector and an exploitative mutation strategy DE/ebest-to-rand with selecting an elite individual as the base vector are employed simultaneously to achieve the balance between local and global performance of the whole population instead of only one mutation strategy in classical DE algorithm. The control parameters F and CR for above mutation strategies are updated adaptively to supplement the optimization ability of DMIE-DE based on a rational probability distribution model and the successful experience from the previous iterations. Moreover, an inferior solutions eliminating technique is embedded to enhance the convergence speed and compensate cost of the fitness evaluation times during the evaluation process. To evaluate the performance of DMIE-DE, experiments are conducted by comparing with five state-of-the-art DE variants on solving 29 test functions in CEC2017 benchmark set. The experimental results indicate that the performance of DMIE-DE is significantly better than, or at least comparable to the considered DE variants. |
