A Hybrid Global Optimization Algorithm Based on Wind Driven Optimization and Differential Evolution

الملخص EN

This paper presents a new hybrid global optimization algorithm, which is based on the wind driven optimization (WDO) and differential evolution (DE), named WDO-DE algorithm.

The WDO-DE algorithm is based on a double population evolution strategy, the individuals in a population evolved by wind driven optimization algorithm, and a population of individuals evolved from difference operation.

The populations of individuals both in WDO and DE employ an information sharing mechanism to implement coevolution.

This paper chose fifteen benchmark functions to have a test.

The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can be feasible in both low-dimensional and high-dimensional cases.

Compared to GA-PSO, WDO, DE, PSO, and BA algorithm, the convergence speed and precision of WDO-DE are higher.

This hybridization showed a better optimization performance and robustness and significantly improves the original WDO algorithm.
