A simple implementation of Differential Evolution
Version 1.0.0.0 (2.92 KB) by
Srinvas Laxminarayan
This m-file is a simple implementation of the Differential evolution global search algorithm.
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.
