Appling the Roulette Wheel Selection Approach to Address the Issues of Premature Convergence and Stagnation in the Discrete Differential Evolution Algorithm by Asaad Shakir Hameed, Haiffa Muhsan B. Alrikabi, Abeer A. Abdul–Razaq, Zakir Hussain Ahmed, Huda Karem Nasser, Modhi Lafta Mutar

“…To address these concerns in the DDE algorithm, this work aims to achieve the following objectives: (i) investigate the causes of premature convergence and stagnation in the DDE algorithm; (ii) propose techniques to prevent premature convergence and stagnation in DDE, including a quantitative measurement of premature convergence based on the level of mismatching between the population solutions and then divide the population into individual groups based on the level of mismatching between the population solutions and the best solution; and applying the roulette wheel selection (RWS) approach to determine whether a higher degree of nonmatching is more suitable for choosing a population of separate groups to be able to produce a new solution with more options to prevent the occurrence of premature convergence; (iii) evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed techniques through employing the DDE algorithm to solve the quadratic assignment problem (QAP) as a standard to evaluate our results and their effect on avoiding premature convergence and stagnation issues, which led to the enhancement of the algorithm’s accuracy. …”
