RDEx-CSOP: Feasibility-Aware Reconstructed Differential Evolution with Adaptive epsilon-Constraint Ranking

Neural and Evolutionary Computing 2026-03-31 v1 Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

Constrained single-objective numerical optimisation requires both feasibility maintenance and strong objective-value convergence under limited evaluation budgets. This report documents RDEx-CSOP, a constrained differential evolution variant used in the IEEE CEC 2025 numerical optimisation competition (C06 special session). RDEx-CSOP combines success-history parameter adaptation with an exploitation-biased hybrid search and an {\epsilon}-constraint handling mechanism with a time-varying threshold. We evaluate RDEx-CSOP on the official CEC 2025 CSOP benchmark using the U-score framework (Speed, Accuracy, and Constraint categories). The results show that RDEx-CSOP achieves the highest total score and the best average rank among all released comparison algorithms, mainly through strong speed and competitive constraint-handling performance across the 28 benchmark functions.
