JDEL: Differential Evolution with Local Search Mechanism for High-Dimensional Optimization Problems

JDE, proposed by J. Brest and et al. is an efficient variant of differential evolution algorithm. JDE algorithm is focused on global search ability. However, its local search ability also need further improvement. Therefore a novel variant of JDE is proposed, which combines JDE and a local search operator simplex crossover operator aiming to improve the local search ability of JDE. The experimental results show that the novel hybrid algorithm improves the performance of JDE in term of precision and efficiency.
