“…The DE algorithm has been applied with success both to mono and multi-objective problems (STORN; PRICE, 1995) in various research fields. As examples, we can mention the solution of multiobjective optimal control problems with index fluctuation applied to fermentation process , digital filter design (STORN; PRICE, 1995), synthesis and optimization of heat integrated distillation system (BABU; SINGH, 2000), multi-objective optimization of mechanical structures (LOBATO; , solution of inverse radiative transfer problems in two-layer participating media (LOBATO et al, 2008a), estimation of drying parameters in rotary dryers (LOBATO et al, 2008b), apparent thermal diffusivity estimation of the drying of fruits (MARIANI et al, 2008), Gibbs free energy minimization in a real system (LOBATO et al, 2009), estimation of spacedependent single scattering albedo in radiative transfer problems (LOBATO et al, 2010a;2010b;2010c), design of fractional order PID controllers (BISWAS et al, 2009), other interesting applications (STORN et al, 2005;DAS;SUGANTHAN, 2011), and in the identification problem associated to rotating machines (CAVALINI Jr et al, 2012).…”
