Differential Evolution with Mutation Selection Considering Diversification and Intensification for Constrained Optimization

Differential Evolution with a selection mechanism based on the probability of mutation strategies for constrained optimization is proposed in this letter. The proposed method is based on the principles of diversification and intensification, and adjusts the selection probability based on the Gompertz curve in a scheduled manner. Numerical experiments demonstrate this method outperforms both single-strategy approaches and those employing equal probability selection.
