Description
Summary:In this research, an improved differential evolution algorithm with a restart technique (DE-R) is designed for solutions of systems of nonlinear equations which often occurs in solving complex computational problems involving variables of nonlinear models. DE-R adds a new strategy for mutation operation and a restart technique to prevent premature convergence and stagnation during the evolutionary search to the basic DE algorithm. The proposed method is evaluated on various real world and synthetic problems and compared with the recently developed methods in the literature. Experiment results show that DE-R can successfully solve all the test problems with fast convergence speed and give high quality solutions. It also outperforms the compared methods.
