Differential Evolution Algorithm with Hybrid Discrete Variables and its Application to Mechanical Optimization

Article Preview

Abstract:

The optimization design about hybrid discrete variables is very significant but also difficult in engineering, mathematics for programming and operational research. Aimed at shortages of existing optimum methods, in this paper, according to the search mechanism of differential evolution algorithm (DEA), a new differential evolution algorithm is proposed to complex optimization problem with hybrid discrete variables The dynamic penalty function was constructed. DEA algorithm program with hybrid discrete variables is developed. The computing examples of mechanical optimization design show that this algorithm has no special requirements on the characteristics of optimal designing problems, it has a fairly good universal adaptability and a reliable operation of program with a strong ability of overall convergence and high efficiency.
