Hybrid coding differential evolution algorithm for weapon-target assignment problem
求解武器-目标分配问题的混合编码差异演化算法

Firstly, added a new operation, boundary-handling operation to the original differential evolution to ensure each population generated by the mutation and crossover operation comply with the boundary constraints. Employed a new selection operation to deal with constraints directly. Then put forward a new hybrid coding differential evolution algorithm with mapping method to deal with the discrete optimization problem. The simulation result of practical weapon-target assignment shows it is effective and useful. Hybrid coding differential evolution algorithm is a new effective way for solving the discrete optimization problem.
