Differential evolution (DE) is one of the best evolutionary algorithms (EAs). The effort of improving its performance has received great research attentions, such as adaptive DE (JADE). Based on the analysis on the aspects that may improve the performance of JADE, we introduce a modified JADE version with sorting crossover rate (CR). In JADE, CR values are generated based on mean value and Gaussian distribution. In the proposed algorithm, a smaller CR value is assigned to individual with better fitness value. Therefore, the components of the individuals, which have better fitness values, can appear in the offspring with higher possibility. In addition, the better offspring generated from last iteration are supposed to have better schemes, hence these schemes are preserved in next offspring generation procedure. This modified version is called as JADE algorithm with sorting CR (JADE_sort). The experiments results with several excellent algorithms show the effectiveness of JADE_sort.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
