Abstract: A new Differential Evolution algorithm is proposed which incorporates a linear regression strategy to find the best single-objective optimization solution. Furthermore, this algorithm contemplates directional information and classical chromosome conservation strategies. Its main motivation is to be used in problems in which it is […]
