System design by constraint adaptation and differential evolution

Abstract

A simple optimization procedure for constraint-based problems is described which works with a simplified cost function or even without one. The simplification of the problem formulation makes this method particularly attractive. The new method lends itself to parallel computation and is well suited for constraint satisfaction, constrained optimization, and design centering problems. A further asset is its self-steering property which makes the new method easy to use.
