The back propagation neural network (BPNN) can easily fall into the local minimum point in time series forecasting. A hybrid approach that combines the adaptive differentialevolution (ADE) algorithm with BPNN, called ADE-BPNN, is designed to improve the forecasting accuracy of BPNN. ADE is first applied to search for the global initial connection weights and thresholds of BPNN. Then, BPNN is employed to thoroughly search for the optimal weights and thresholds. Two comparative real-life series data sets are used to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the hybrid method. The proposed ADE-BPNN can effectively improve forecasting accuracy relative to basic BPNN, autoregressive integrated moving average model (ARIMA), and other hybrid models. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

This paper presents an efficient and reliable evolutionary-based approach to solve the optimal power flow (OPF) problem. The proposed approach employs differential evolution algorithm for optimal settings of OPF problem control variables. The proposed approach is examined and tested on the standard IEEE 30-bus test system with different objectives that reflect fuel cost minimization, voltage profile improvement, and voltage stability enhancement. The proposed approach results are compared with the results reported in the literature. The results show the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed approach.

When disasters happen, time is often very urgent. Case-based reasoning (CBR) is one of the most effective approaches to support disaster emergency management. CBR takes good use of historical case data, which is one of the typical data-driven decision-making methods. Among the steps of CBR, adaptation is the core. To improve the adaptation, a hybrid mutation operator is implemented, and a new differentialevolution (DE) algorithm is developed. An adaptation method based on the proposed algorithm is put forward to achieve case adaptation in the CBR system. The comparison results have shown that the proposed algorithm is superior compared with the state-of-art algorithms. Then, experiments of CBR have revealed that the adaptation method can effectively generate appropriate solutions with the help of the proposed algorithm. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Derivative-based algorithms, called classical algorithms, for optimization of weighted myriad (WMy) filters which are robust nonlinear filters in impulsive noisy environments are presented in literature. In this study, (WMy) filters that have various window lengths are optimized with differential evolution algorithm (DEA) that is known as a derivative-free based and evolutionary algorithm. The main contribution of this paper is to propose a novel strategy that is based on using the DEA in optimization of the parameters of nonlinear WMy filters. The results of proposed optimization studies are compared with a classical algorithm presented in literature. According to the simulation results;DEA has better performance than classical algorithm in optimization studies and also WMy filters optimized with DEA have ability of effectively suppressing the impulsive noisy environments.

The search capabilities of the differentialevolution (DE) algorithm - a global optimization technique make it suitable for finding both the architecture and the best internal parameters of a neural network, usually determined by the training phase. In this paper, two variants of the DE algorithm (classical DE and self-adaptive mechanism) were used to obtain the best neural networks in two distinct cases: for prediction and classification problems. Oxygen mass transfer in stirred bioreactors is modeled with neural networks developed with the DE algorithm, based on the consideration that the oxygen constitutes one of the decisive factors of cultivated microorganism growth and can play an important role in the scale-up and economy of aerobic biosynthesis systems. The coefficient of mass transfer oxygen is related to the viscosity, superficial speed of air, specific power, and oxygen-vector volumetric fraction (being predicted as function of these parameters) using stacked neural networks. On the other hand, simple neural networks are designed with DE in order to classify the values of the mass transfer coefficient oxygen into different classes. Satisfactory results are obtained in both cases, proving that the neural network based modeling is an appropriate technique and the DE algorithm is able to lead to the near-optimal neural network topology.

The element placement plays a crucial role in array performance. Especially, aperiodic placement technique is a very effective approach to remove grating lobes and minimize the sidelobe level (SLL) of an array. In this article, a wideband aperiodic array has been designed by a constrained differential evolution algorithm (DE). As a practical application, multiple optimization constraints, such as the given aperture length, the bandwidth, the number of elements and the minimum interelement spacing, are considered. Hence, minimizing SLL for the wideband aperiodic array can be formulated as a constrained optimization problem. Some synthesis examples are solved by the constrained DE. Numerical results demonstrate that the constrained DE is an effective approach for minimize SLL when all the constraint conditions are satisfied. (C) 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Flood disaster is a kind of frequent natural hazards. The objective of flood disaster evaluation is to establish hazard assessment model for managing flood and preventing disaster. Base on the chaotic optimization theory, this paper proposes a chaotic differential evolution algorithm to solve a fuzzy clustering iterative model for evaluating flood disaster. By using improved logistic chaotic map and penalty function, the objective function can be solved more perfectly. Two practical flood disaster cases have been taken into account so as to test the effect of novel hybrid method. Simulation results and comparisons show that the chaotic differential evolution algorithm is competitive and stable in performance with simple differentialevolution and other optimization approaches presented in literatures.

In this article, an improved differential evolution algorithm (IDE) based on two different colonies is proposed and applied to time-modulated conformal arrays syntheses. The whole population of IDE is divided into two parts. The one part searches the solution globally while the other searches the neighborhood of the solution provided by the previous one. Benchmark functions are provided to testify IDE. Furthermore, IDE is applied to synthetize sum-difference patterns with a 1 x 16 elements time-modulated circular array and low sidelobe level (SLL) patterns with an 8 x 12 elements time-modulated cone array. After optimization, the sideband level (SBL) of the circular array at the first sideband frequency is -1.00 dB. The SLL and SBL at the first sideband frequency of the cone array are lower than -30.00 and -20.00 dB, respectively. Experiment results verify the superior performance of IDE. Moreover, to accelerate the computation speed, graphics processing unit parallel computing technique is introduced into pattern synthesis and the acceleration ratios of more than 23 times can be achieved.

In this study, an efficient damage detection technique using the differentialevolution (DE) algorithm and vibration data is proposed to properly detect the locations and extents of multiple damages of truss structures. The general equilibrium equations in which the reaction forces at notes are taken into account are considered. The compatibility equations in terms of forces are presented using the singular value decomposition (SVD) technique and then the extended equations of motion are developed based on the force method. As an optimization algorithm, the differentialevolution (DE) algorithm is utilized and the objective function for damage detection is based on vibration data such as natural frequencies and mode shapes. Three numerical examples for planar and space truss structures are considered to verify the effectiveness and practical applicability of the present study. The numerical results show that the proposed method based on DE and vibration data can provide a reliable tool on determining the locations and extents of multiple damages of truss structures when it compares with those obtained from the genetic algorithm.

Different operating conditions of p-xylene oxidation have different influences on the product, purified terephthalic acid. It is necessary to obtain the optimal combination of reaction conditions to ensure the quality of the products, cut down on consumption and increase revenues. A multi-objective differentialevolution (MODE) algorithm co-evolved with the population-based incremental learning (PBIL) algorithm, called PBMODE, is proposed. The PBMODE algorithm was designed as a co-evolutionary system. Each individual has its own parameter individual, which is co-evolved by PBIL. PBIL uses statistical analysis to build a model based on the corresponding symbiotic individuals of the superior original individuals during the main evolutionary process. The results of simulations and statistical analysis indicate that the overall performance of the PBMODE algorithm is better than that of the compared algorithms and it can be used to optimize the operating conditions of the p-xylene oxidation process effectively and efficiently.
