Patterns of Convergence and Bound Constraint Violation in Differential Evolution on SBOX-COST Benchmarking Suite
This study investigates the influence of several bound constraint handling methods (BCHMs) on the search process specific to Differential Evolution (DE), with a focus on identifying similarities between BCHMs and grouping patterns with respect to the number of cases when a BCHM is activated. The empirical analysis is conducted on the SBOX-COST benchmarking test suite, where bound constraints are enforced on the problem domain. This analysis provides some insights that might be useful in designing adaptive strategies for handling such constraints.
