Optimization of Industrial Processes Using Improved and Modified Differential Evolution

Optimization refers to finding one or more feasible solutions, which correspond to extreme values of one or more objectives. The need for finding such optimal solutions in a problem comes mostly from the extreme purpose of either designing a solution for minimum possible cost of fabrication, or for maximum possible reliability, or others. Because of such extreme properties of optimal solutions, optimization methods are of great importance in practice, particularly in engineering design, scientific experiments and business decision-making.
