Simple console implementation of the Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm as described in: Storn, R., Price, K.: "Differential Evolution – A Simple and Efficient Heuristic for global Optimization over Continuous Spaces", Journal of Global Optimization (1997)
More info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_evolution
It is written in C# (build with .NET Core 2.0)
By default it tries to solve RASTRIGIN FUNCTION for only 2 dimensions but of course you can increase dimensions or add more functions in TestFunction.cs
Default parameters (file Parameters.cs):
- Amplification Factor (F) - 0.5
- Crossover Probability (CR) - 0.9
- Agents Count - 20
- Iterations - 100 (highly depends on problem and number of dimensions)
