A new adaptive differential evolution algorithm with restart (ADE-R) is proposed as a general-purpose method for solving continuous optimization problems. Its design aims at simplicity of use, efficiency and robustness. ADE-R simulates a population evolution of real vectors using vector mixing operations with an adaptive parameter control based on the switching of two selected intervals of values for each scaling factor and crossover rate of the basic differential evolution algorithm. It also incorporates a restart technique to supply new contents to the population to prevent premature convergence and stagnation. The method is tested on several benchmark functions covering various types of functions and compared with some well-known and state-of-art methods. The experimental results show that ADE-R is effective and outperforms the compared methods.

A modified multiobjective self-adaptive differential evolution algorithm (MMOSADE) is presented in this paper to improve the accuracy of multiobjective optimization design in the nuclear power system. The performance of the MMOSADE is tested by the ZDT test function set and compared with classical evolutionary algorithms. The results indicate that MMOSADE has a better performance in convergence and diversity. Based on the MMOSADE, a multiobjective optimization design platform for the nuclear power system is proposed, and the application of which is carried out. The evaluation program of the PRHR-HX in AP1000 is developed, and its reliability is verified. The optimal design schemes of PHHR-HX are obtained by utilizing the multiobjective optimization design platform. The results show that the optimal design schemes can envelop the prototype design scheme. This conclusion proves that the optimization design platform proposed in this paper is effective and feasible.

An original learning algorithm for solving global numerical optimization problems is proposed. The proposed algorithm is strong stochastic search method which is based on evaluation and optimization of a hypercube and is called the hypercube optimization (HO) algorithm. The hypercube optimization algorithm includes the initialization and evaluation process, and searching space process. The designed HO algorithm is tested on specific benchmark functions. The comparative performance analysis have made against with other approaches of dynamic weight particle swarm optimization and self-adaptive differential evolution algorithm. Convergence characteristics of self-adaptive differential evolution algorithm has deliver the much better functional   value in compare to dynamic weight based particle swarm optimization.

Extractive multidocument summarization is modeled as a modifiedp-median problem. The problem is formulated with taking into account four basic requirements, namely, relevance, information coverage, diversity, and length limit that should satisfy summaries. To solve the optimization problem a self-adaptive differential evolution algorithm is created. Differential evolution has been proven to be an efficient and robust algorithm for many real optimization problems. However, it still may converge toward local optimum solutions, need to manually adjust the parameters, and finding the best values for the control parameters is a consuming task. In the paper is proposed a self-adaptive scaling factor in original DE to increase the exploration and exploitation ability. This paper has found that self-adaptive differential evolution can efficiently find the best solution in comparison with the canonical differential evolution. We implemented our model on multi-document summarization task. Experiments have shown that the proposed model is competitive on the DUC2006 dataset.
