A new adaptive differential evolution algorithm with restart (ADE-R) is proposed as a general-purpose method for solving continuous optimization problems. Its design aims at simplicity of use, efficiency and robustness. ADE-R simulates a population evolution of real vectors using vector mixing operations with an adaptive parameter control based on the switching of two selected intervals of values for each scaling factor and crossover rate of the basic differential evolution algorithm. It also incorporates a restart technique to supply new contents to the population to prevent premature convergence and stagnation. The method is tested on several benchmark functions covering various types of functions and compared with some well-known and state-of-art methods. The experimental results show that ADE-R is effective and outperforms the compared methods.

Differential evolution (DE) is a powerful global optimization algorithm which has been studied intensively by many researchers in the recent years. A number of variants have been established for the algorithm that makes DE more applicable. However, most of the variants are suffering from the problems of convergence speed and local optima. A novel tournament based parent selection variant of DE algorithm is proposed in this research. The proposed variant enhances searching capability and improves convergence speed of DE algorithm. This paper also presents a novel statistical comparison of existing DE mutation variants which categorizes these variants in terms of their overall performance. Experimental results show that the proposed DE variant has significance performance over other DE mutation variants.
