A Fractal Mutation Factor Modified Differential Evolution Algorithm

Article Preview

Abstract:

To get better solution by improving the mutation strategy of Differential Evolution algorithm, a fractal mutation strategy is introduced. The fractal mutation factor of the proposed Fractal Mutation factor Differential Evolution (FMDE) algorithm is simulated by fractal Brownian motion with a different Hurst index. The new algorithm is test on 25 benchmark functions presented at 2005 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (CEC2005). The optimization results of at least 10 benchmark functions are significantly better than the results obtained by JADE and CoDE, and most of the rest of the test results are approximate. This shows that FMDE can significantly improve the accuracy and adaptability to solve optimization problems.
