Improving EDO integrating a dimension perturbation module

An improved version of exponential distribution optimizer (EDO) that incorporates a dimensional perturbation module (DPM) called EDO_DPM.

An improved version of exponential distribution optimizer that incorporates a dimensional perturbation module (DPM) called EDO_DPM. By testing the impact of dimensional perturbation, the K-dimensional evolution strategy is adopted in our approach. Concurrently, to modulate the usage frequency of DPM, an adjustment parameter, named evolutionary state factor (ESF), is designed contingent on the population’s evolutionary state. Moreover, to alleviate the deficiency of non full-dimensional perturbation, a bounce out operation is embedded in the algorithm.
