Abstract
Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm generates a population of individuals by encoding with a floating point vector, and it is a simple and effective population-based stochastic optimization algorithm for global optimization of continuous space. Because of its excellent performance, DE variants can be applied in a wide range of applications in science and engineering. However, the performance of DE is sensitive to the choice of trial vector generation strategy and the associated control parameters. Therefore, it is necessary to choose appropriate mutation strategy and control parameters when tackling optimization applications. In this paper, an adaptive update mechanism is proposed to update control parameters
