Abstract

The original differential evolution algorithm (DE) is a single-population differential evolution algorithm (SPDE). DE converges very quickly, and takes the advantage of robustness. The improved DE has a better performance, but there are premature problems in optimizing complex problems. The multi-population differential evolution algorithm (MPDE) is proposed to overcome premature problems in this paper. The optimal substitution strategy (OSS) and the elite immigration strategy (EIS) are studied to maintain the diversity of populations. The simulation concludes that MPDE converges faster than SPDE in optimizing the ultra-high dimensional problems, and the EIS is superior to the OSS. However, the efficiency of DE is more effective than that of MPDE when the algorithms converge. Research shows that multi-population strategy is a feasible and effective way to the premature problems of DE.
