An enhanced differential evolution algorithm with dimensional chaos rebirth and adaptive step-size strategy for high dimensional optimization
摘要
To address the rapid loss of diversity and premature convergence of the Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm in high-dimensional optimization, this paper proposes an improved algorithm, AL-EnhancedDE. The method integrates a dimensional chaotic rebirth strategy and an adaptive step-size search mechanism to enhance robustness in solving complex problems. By incorporating a dynamic disruption mechanism, three repair strategies, and an adaptive chaotic Lévy flight mechanism, the algorithm can effectively approach the global optimum while maintaining stability. The proposed AL-EnhancedDE was evaluated on high-dimensional settings (50 and 100 dimensions) of the CEC2017 benchmark suite. It was compared with classical heuristic algorithms (DE, PSO, EAO, WAA, AOO, DOA, SFOA) and advanced DE variants (JADE, SADE, CoDE, HSDE, LSHADE, ADE, jDE, AJSO, NFDDE, LSHADE-SPACMA, MIDE, QSMODE, MODEA). Experimental results indicate that the AL-EnhancedDE algorithm outperforms the other 20 comparison algorithms in overall performance.
