The algorithm implements a variation of DE methods surveyed in a recent paper (Swagatam et al., IEEE trans. Evol. Comput., 2011).

The function is made to be user friendly and takes in arguments similar to a normal optimization function in matlab, eg. fminsearch. The help documentation is self explanatory. I hope this file is useful and allows people to play with DE and use it on practical optimization problems.
