Abstract

Differential evolution algorithm is one of the most efficient metaheuristic approaches. In this paper, a review and analysis is presented in order to help for future research in differential evolution algorithm. It covers an analysis of about 142 papers of the previous work in the modifications of the algorithm including the main parameters of the classical steps of the algorithm and hybridization with other algorithms. The analysis also shows the applications that optimized using the differential evolution algorithm.
