##article.abstract##

Differential Evolution (DE) is a population based stochastic optimisation algorithm. The aim of this work is to show how DE can be used to solve constrained optimisation problems. Penalty functions are not used and a simple feasibility rule allows to choose between feasible and non-feasible solutions. Also, equality constraints are dealt with a fixed tolerance and no extra diversity mechanism is used. This approach was tested with a well known benchmark. The results obtained outperform other state-of-art techniques in terms of quality of solutions and computational cost. [DOI: 10.1685/CSC06130] About DOI
