Abstract
As a novel evolutionary computing technique, recently Differential Evolution (DE) has attracted much attention and wide applications due to its simple concept and easy implementation. However, all the control parameters of the classic DE (crossover rate, scaling factor, and population size) keep fixed during the searching process. To improve the performance of DE, an improved DE (IDE) with dynamic population size is proposed in this paper. Simulation results and comparisons based on some well-known benchmarks and an IIR design problem show the good efficiency of the proposed IDE.
