- Abstract:

Due to its simple algorithm structure, ease of performance, high optimization efficiency, simple parameter setting, and excellent robustness, the differential evolution (DE) algorithm has attracted increasing attention from researchers. In this paper, we outline the basic concepts of the DE algorithm as well as its limitations, and review four improvement strategies, including a control parameter, differential strategy, population structure, and mixing it with other optimization algorithms. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of these strategies and suggest directions for future improvements to the DE algorithm.
