A Hybrid Differential Evolution Algorithm Integrated with Particle Swarm Optimization

To implement self-adaptive control parameters,a hybrid differential evolution algorithm integrated with particle swarm optimization( PSODE) is proposed. In the PSODE, control parameters are encoded to be a symbiotic individual of original individual,and each original individual has its own symbiotic individual. Differential evolution( DE) operators are used to evolve the original population. And,particle swarm optimization( PSO) is applied to co-evolving the symbiotic population. Thus,with the evolution of the original population in PSODE, the symbiotic population is dynamically and self-adaptively adjusted and the realtime optimum control parameters are obtained. The proposed algorithm is compared with some DE variants on nine functions. The results show that the average performance of PSODE is the best.
