Differential Evolution (DE) is a simple, powerful and easy to use global optimization algorithm. Trial vector generation mechanism influences the performance of DE algorithm significantly. This research work explores that whether random vector selection in trial vector generation have any role in improving the performance of DE algorithm. A novel tournament selection framework in DE algorithm is proposed to enhance its convergence speed. The novel TSRVDE framework employs tournament selection criteria focuses on the selection of random vector in DE trial vector. We can get rid of worst performing individual selection by TSRVDE that will be helpful to enhance the searching capability of DE algorithm. TSRVDE advancement is applied on the set of frequently used DE variants. To evaluate the performance of TSRVDE a test suit of comprehensive set of well-known multidimensional global optimizations problems is used. The acceleration of TSRVDE can be observed in the experimental results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
