Fitness Proportionate Random Vector Selection based DE Algorithm (FPRVDE)
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Computer Science & Applications - Year 2016, Vol 7, Issue 9
Abstract
Differential Evolution (DE) is a simple, powerful and easy to use global optimization algorithm. DE has been studied in detail by many researchers in the past years. In DE algorithm trial vector generation strategies have a significant influence on its performance. This research studies that whether performance of DE algorithm can be improved by incorporating selection advancement in effective trial vector generation strategies. A novel advancement in DE trial vector generation strategies is proposed in this research to speeds up the convergence speed of DE algorithm. The proposed fitness proportion based random vector selection DE (FPRVDE) is based on the proportion of individual fitness mechanism. FPRVDE reduces the role of poor performing individuals to enhance it performance capability of DE algorithm. To form a trial vector using FPRVDE, individual based on the proportion of their fitness are selected. FPRVDE mechanism is applied to most commonly used set of DE variants. A comprehensive set of multidimensional function optimization problems is used to access the performance of FPRVDE. Experimental result shows that proposed approach accelerates DE algorithm.
