Differential Evolution Dynamics Analysis Using Aggregated Networks

Abstract

In this paper, the dynamics of the selected variants of the differential evolution is modelled by aggregated network capturing the relationships between individuals established during the population evolution. The motivation of this research is to better understand the relationships between individuals of the selected variants of the differential evolution. Thanks to the analysis of the aggregated networks, the advantages as well as bottlenecks of the selected algorithms can be specified more precisely and the results of the analysis can be used to develop novel algorithms.
