Many real-world problems can be categorized as constrained optimization problems. So, designing effective algorithms for constrained optimization problems become more and more important. In designing algorithms, how to guide the individuals moving more efficiently towards the feasible region is one of the most important aspects on finding the optimum of constrained optimization problems. In this paper, we propose an improved constrained differentialevolution, which combines with pre-estimated comparison gradient based approximation. The proposed algorithm uses gradient matrix to determine whether the trail vector generated by differential evolution algorithm is worth using the fitness function to evaluate it or not. Pre-estimated comparison gradient based approximation is used as a detector to find the promising offspring and in this way can we guide the individuals moving towards the feasible region. The proposed method is tested both on twenty-four benchmark functions and four well-known engineering optimization problems. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is highly competitive in comparing with other state-of-the-art algorithms. The proposed algorithm offers higher accuracy in engineering optimization problems for constrained optimization problems. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

In order to improve the utilization of carbon in a sintering process, it is necessary to predict and optimize carbon efficiency. In the paper, first, comprehensive coke ratio(CCR) is taken to be a metric of the carbon efficiency. By analyzing the sintering mechanism, sintering parameters affecting the CCR are determined. Next, the fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm is used to identify different operating conditions. Then, least-squares support vector machine(LS-SVM) sub-models are established for the different operating conditions, and a CCR prediction model is established by incorporating the sub-models using the TS fuzzy intelligent fusion method. Finally, based on the CCR prediction model, a differential evolution algorithm is used to optimize the CCR by adjusting the operating parameters. Simulations using actual run data show that the prediction accuracy of the CCR prediction model is higher than that of a back-propagation neural network model and a single LS-SVM model, and the carbon efficiency optimization strategy reduced the CCR by 1.97 kg/t on average. Thus, the method provides us a guidance for an actual sintering process.

It is a process that a particular type of goal target recognition from other goals based on certain characteristics. It is one of the hotspots of current research. LSSVM is a common algorithm for target recognition. It is simple, fast and accurate. Against to the parameters difficult to be determined in the LSSVM and the disadvantage of traditional method, it is proposed an improved differential evolution algorithm to optimize the parameters of the LSSVM in the paper. To restrain the premature convergence of the traditional algorithm, the premature judgment mechanism is introduced by the way of improving the mutation strategy. The experiment results showed that the improved algorithm has the ability of jumping out of local advantages. The results are better than the traditional algorithm. It is proved with the photoelectric servo tracking turntable that the improved algorithm has fast convergence speed and high accuracy. And it is demonstrated the excellence of the algorithm that correct recognition rate can be improved from 80% to 91%.

The theoretical studies of differential evolution algorithm (DE) have gradually attracted the attention of more and more researchers. According to recent researches, the classical DE cannot guarantee global convergence in probability except for some special functions. Along this perspective, a problem aroused is that on which functions DE cannot guarantee global convergence. This paper firstly addresses that DE variants are difficult on solving a class of multimodal functions (such as the Shifted Rotated Ackley's function) identified by two characteristics. One is that the global optimum of the function is near a boundary of the search space. The other is that the function has a larger deceptive optima set in the search space. By simplifying the class of multimodal functions, this paper then constructs a Linear Deceptive function. Finally, this paper develops a random drift model of the classical DE algorithm to prove that the algorithm cannot guarantee global convergence on the class of functions identified by the two above characteristics.

The basic gravitational search algorithm(GSA) could fall into local optima solution easily, and thus we proposed a hybrid gravitational search algorithm(HGSA) in order to overcome the shortcoming of GSA. This improved gravitational search algorithm, which only uses the position update formula that was affected by the Gbest in its iteration process, is combined with the differentialevolution(DE) algorithm. Ten benchmark functions have been introduced for testing the improved algorithms' performance. We also use the statistical method "T-test" to verify the difference in results. Experimental results show that HGSA is superior to the basic gravitational search algorithm and its three improved algorithms in terms of both convergence accuracy and convergence rate.

This paper is mainly intended to compare image fusion method using different evolutionary algorithms and a comparison between these methods. The survey focuses on region-based fusion techniques, which is a major area of research. The paper compares image fusion processes using various evolutionary algorithms and illustrates the advantages and disadvantages of these algorithms. This survey illustrates that a method of image fusion can also be included in the DE optimization stage with the block size optimization. Finally, it is concluded that spatial frequency can be used as the sharpness criterion and evolutionary algorithms perform better in block size optimization.

Unit commitment is an important aspect of optimal operation of power system. In this paper, the wind power accommodation and flexible load response are proposed to evaluate unit commitment problems. Based on the evaluation functions, the optimization of unit commitment problems is translated into constraints multi-objective optimization problem. These objectives are modeled with a differential evolution algorithm with self-adaptive improved strategies method to evaluate their imprecise nature. The model and algorithms are applied to calculate a case of 10 units. It is shown that the system needs to have more spinning reserve and increase the peak regulation capacity of each time period. The results show that the proposed modeling method can provide a useful guidance for unit commitment problems
