  • Abstract
    Differential evolution (DE) is well known as a simple and efficient algorithm for global optimization over continuous spaces. This article provides a simple mathematical model of the underlying evolutionary dynamics of a one-dimensional DE. The model relates the search process of DE with the classical gradient descent search and also analyzes the convergence behavior of a DE population, very near to optima.
