29 Oct 2018  ·  Haozhen Dong, Liang Gao, Xinyu Li, Haoran Zhong, Bing Zeng ·

Differential evolution(DE) is a conventional algorithm with fast convergence speed. However, DE may be trapped in local optimal solution easily. Many researchers devote themselves to improving DE. In our previously work, whale swarm algorithm have shown its strong searching performance due to its niching based mutation strategy. Based on this fact, we propose a new DE algorithm called DE with Better and Nearest option (NbDE). In order to evaluate the performance of NbDE, NbDE is compared with several meta-heuristic algorithms on nine classical benchmark test functions with different dimensions. The results show that NbDE outperforms other algorithms in convergence speed and accuracy.
