Color Image Quantization Algorithm Based on Self-Adaptive Differential Evolution

Differential evolution algorithm (DE) is one of the novel stochastic optimization methods. It has a better performance in the problem of the color image quantization, but it is difficult to set the parameters of DE for users. This paper proposes a color image quantization algorithm based on self-adaptive DE. In the proposed algorithm, a self-adaptive mechanic is used to automatically adjust the...

An Improved Genetic Algorithm Based on Adaptive Differential Evolution

In order to solve the premature convergence and improve the optimization ability of simple genetic algorithm (SGA) in the complex function optimization, an improved differential evolution based-genetic algorithm (DGA) is proposed in this paper. On the basis of the selection and crossover operation of SGA, the adaptive differential evolution operator is used as the main optimization method to re...

Well Placement Optimization Using Differential Evolution Algorithm

Determining the optimal location of wells with the aid of an automated search algorithm is a significant and difficult step in the reservoir development process. It is a computationally intensive task due to the large number of simulation runs required. Therefore,the key issue to such automatic optimization is development of algorithms that can find acceptable solutions with a minimum numbe...

The Self–Adaptive Pareto Differential Evolution Algorithm

The Pareto Differential Evolution (PDE) algorithm was introduced last year and showed competitive results. The behavior of PDE, as in many other evolutionary multiobjective optimization (EMO) methods, varies according to the crossover and mutation rates. In this paper, we present a new version of PDE with self-adaptive crossover and mutation. We call the new version Self–adaptive Pareto Differe...
