“…The observation that PSO does relatively well at the very beginning of the search and the DE-type methods excel for larger computational budgets was also identified in [81]. The relatively poorer performance of some of the methods that were among the best-performing ones in the CEC Competitions (EA4Eig, AGSK, AGSKI, and, most notably, EBO) probably comes down to these methods being fine-tuned for the particular competition [82,83]. On the other hand, the excellent performance of LSHADE should not be as unexpected, as this method (and similar DE hybrids) was found to be among the best-performing ones on a variety of different problems [9,63,[84][85][86].…”
