Analysis of LZW Differential Evolution for Binary Encoding

Differential Evolution (DE) is a fast and robust realvector optimizer. This paper applies DE to discrete problems byconverting a real chromosome to an integer chromosome andthen decompress to a binary chromosome using LZW algorithm.Experimental result shows that this approach is better than theprevious work and the evolution time is very fast. Analysis resultshows that the fitness landscape of LZW encoding is lesscomplex than the original encoding for each test problem
