Abstract: | This paper investigates optimization in dynamic environments where the numbers of optima are unknown or fluctuating. The authors present a novel algorithm, Dynamic Population Differential Evolution (DynPopDE), which is specifically designed for these problems. DynPopDE is a Differential Evolution based multi-population algorithm that dynamically spawns and removes populations as required. The new algorithm is evaluated on an extension of the Moving Peaks Benchmark. Comparisons with other state-of-the-art algorithms indicate that DynPopDE is an effective approach to use when the number of optima in a dynamic problem space is unknown or changing over time. |
