Two-Way Differential Evolution Algorithm: A Global Optimization Algorithm in Continuous Space

In this paper, two-way differential evolution algorithm is proposed according to two different hybrid scheme of differential evolution algorithm. The bin and exp hybrid scheme are run at same time is the key operation of new algorithm, and regard the best solution of two schemes as the solution of new algorithm. Most of experimental results show that this new algorithm is excellent on both unimodal problems and multimodal problems.
