Abstract:In the present work, a system for adaptive encoding of representation space is applied to Differential Evolution algorithm. At first, the Differential Evolution (DE) and Covariance Matrix Adaptation - Evolution Strategy (CMA-ES) are described. Then, the adaptive encoding system derived from CMA-ES is introduced and applied to DE. The resulting algorithm DE+AE is tested using platform COCO for variety of setting and compared with original DE and CMA-ES algorithms. Experiments prove that, adaptive encoding improves performance of DE algorithm on non-separable function.
