CONTROL PARAMETERS IN SELF-ADAPTIVE DIFFERENTIAL EVOLUTION

In this paper we present experimental results to show deep view on how self- adaptive mechanism works in differential evolution algorithm. The results of the self-adaptive differential evolution algorithm were evaluated on the se t of 24 benchmark functions provided for the CEC2006 special session on constrained real parameter optimization. In this paper we especially focus on how the control parameters are being changed during the evolutionary process.
