Abstract

The efficiency of an algorithm to find the global minimum depends on its ability to keep population diversity during evolutionary iterations. Statistical variance can serve as a measure of population diversity. We analyse the expected population variance after mutation and crossover for best/1/bin strategy of Classical Differential Evolution and for new strategies of a novel Asynchronous Differential Evolution. Relations between the control parameters (Np , F, Cr ) of algorithms and the extension factor of population variance are derived. Constraints on control parameters to prevent premature convergence of the algorithm are suggested and compared with phase portraits (convergence domains) for several benchmark functions.
