Hybrid Evolutionary Algorithm for Optimizing Reliability of Complex Systems

In this paper, we propose a hybrid optimization algorithm of Harmony Search and Differential applied to three reliability complex system with static, extinctive constraint treatment. The proposed hybrid is contrasted with Harmony Search, Improved Modified Harmony Search, Differential Evolution, Modified Differential Evolution and other algorithms previous employed for Reliability of Complex Systems in the literature. We experimentally found that the proposed hybrid i.e. Improved Modified Harmony Search + Modified Differential Evolution needs less function evaluations as to the contrasted algorithms.
