An improved constrained differential evolution using discrete variables (D-ICDE) for layout optimization of truss structures

作者：

Highlights：

• A discrete variable technique is integrated into ICDE to give Discrete-ICDE.

• Discrete-ICDE is then applied for the truss layout optimization problems.

• Numerical results show that Discrete-ICDE is robust, effective and reliable.
