“…However, the algorithm also has the common problems of intelligent algorithms, namely, shrinkage stagnation and premature convergence. Many scholars have improved DE algorithm from the following four aspects: control parameter setting (Brest et al , 2006; Qin et al , 2009; Teo, 2016), evolutionary strategy selection (Das, 2009; Epitropakis et al , 2011; Tang et al , 2014), population structure (Depolli et al , 2013; Kushida et al , 2013) and mixing with other optimization algorithms (Deng and Liu, 2010; Zhan et al , 2014). These improved DE algorithms effectively balance the search ability and development ability of DE algorithm, and provide more choices for solving engineering problems.…”
