It aims to reconstruct the balance between exploration and exploitation, and improve the search efficiency and solution quality of DE. The proposed method is activated by recording the number of recently consecutive unsuccessful global optimum updates. It takes the feedback from the global optimum,which makes the search strategy not only refine the current solution quality, but also have a change to find other promising space with better individuals. This search strategy is incorporated with various DE mutation strategies and DE variations. The experimental results indicate that the proposed method has remarkable performance in enhancing search efficiency and improving solution quality.展开更多

Experimental studies are carried out on a suite of 7 bound-constrained numerical benchmark functions. The results show that the proposed algorithm has better capability of maintaining the population diversity and faster convergence than the classical differential evolution and several classic differential evolution variants.展开更多
