| Abstract: | Since the discovery of the Differential Evolution algorithm, new and improved versions have continuously emerged. In this paper, we review selected algorithms based on Differential Evolution that have been proposed in recent years. We examine the mechanisms integrated into them and compare the performance of algorithms. To compare their performances, statistical comparisons were used as they enable us to draw reliable conclusions about the algorithms’ performances. We use the Wilcoxon signed-rank test for pairwise comparisons and the Friedman test for multiple comparisons. Subsequently, the Mann–Whitney U-score test was added. We conducted not only a cumulative analysis of algorithms, but we also focused on their performances regarding the function family (i.e., unimodal, multimodal, hybrid, and composition functions). Experimental results of algorithms were obtained on problems defined for the CEC’24 Special Session and Competition on Single Objective Real Parameter Numerical Optimization. Problem dimensions of 10, 30, 50, and 100 were analyzed. In this paper, we highlight promising mechanisms for further development and improvements based on the study of the selected algorithms. |
